Details: Product Description Pierre Lapointe Amazon.ca We already knew that Pierre Lapointe was cut from the stuff of the greats. His previous eponymous album, rooted in the tradition of French singers, surprised with its strangely offbeat universe. We crossed our fingers that it would not repeat itself. He more than kept his promises. La forêt des mal-aimés is a great album where all the influences have not only been digested, but reinterpreted in a unique style. As if he was literally reinventing French song, a bit like Thomas Fersen or Vincent Delerm a few years ago. Superb melodies, solid harmonies, poetic and personal lyrics, here is a forest of the unloved where one would spend one's entire life. Lapointe (who now goes without a first name) sings childhood memories like no other, unhappy love or the beauty of a beloved face in chosen words, wrapped in sound arrangements where the violins drown in waves of 'electro. This gives songs that are catchy, but absolutely unique. Great art. -- Pascale Millot
