Music reviews of Biographie De Luka Philipsen
Music Review: If only the world would listen!
Rating: 4 Stars
It's a crying shame that the rest of the world tends to ignore French-language music, as there's a great deal of superb releases just demanding to be heard. Case in point is Keren Ann Zeidel's debut album 'La biographie de Luka Philipsen'. Here we find 13 gorgeous songs of wistful thoughts mainly over crystalline acoustic guitars and skittering electronica, topped off with the warm vocals of mademoiselle Zeidel. Opener 'Dimanche en Hiver' sets the tone, sparse guitar and mellotron adorning the vocal before strings guide the song into a lush autumnal chorus. And it has to be said the record barely lets up from there. 'Seule' seems harmless until a huge rock chorus kicks in; 'On Est Loin' is clear and caressing, a wonderful lullaby. The big draw for many, however, will be the single 'Sur Le Fil', a huge cinematic effort which brings all these elements together along with a hook which will follow you round all day after hearing it. That is, if you're not humming along to 'Peut-Etre', the utterly charming guitar and piano lovesong which follows it! Keren Ann's partner in crime, Benjamin Biolay (France's best contemporary songwriter? It's hard to argue) pops up for a duet on 'Decrocher Les Etoiles', and the album also contains Keren Ann's own version of 'Jardin d'Hiver', a big comeback hit she wrote for jazz crooner Henri Salvador. She deserves to be at least as big as Francoise Hardy - it's unlikely, which is a shame. And don't get me started on her jazzier second album 'La Disparition', which might even surpass this one! If you can find her CDs, buy them!
