Details: Amazon.ca Chaque feu…, the first French-language album from Roch Voisine in five years, marks a shift in the career of the New Brunswick-born singer. Released under the label Voisine created, RV International, this seventh album reveals the new preoccupations of an idol for a generation that has grown up. Handsome Roch has also gained some stature, and all the better for it. His velvety, swoon-worthy crooner's voice is as inviting as ever, but the themes are more assertive, more mature. "Un simple gars" presents a man "grown from snow and wood, without cutting remarks." We are a long way from "Hélène" and the teenage ballads of the early days. Produced by Erick Benzi, who has notably collaborated with Céline Dion, the album includes its share of guaranteed hits like "Je resterai là" and "Obia," though the somewhat overproduced melodies lack warmth and authenticity. As a supreme honor, race car driver Jacques Villeneuve plays keyboards on "Juste pour soi." Chaque feu... doesn't incite hysteria, but it commands respect. --Diane Jean Product Description Voisine, Roch
