Details: Product Description Chatelet les Halles' (the name of a Parisian neighborhood) marks Florent Pagny's return to the French pop scene. All you need to do is look at the list of people who collaborated on this album (P. Obispo, David Hallyday, etc.) to know that he is one of the most important French artists of the last decade. This teamwork mixes pure emotions, a real look at the surrounding world and human feelings. Amazon.ca The choice of composers, to say the least judicious (Obispo, David Hallyday, Art Mengo, Gérard Presgurvic, Goldman), and this astonishing ability to be able to bring this voice to the extreme in the bass have made Florent Pagny the one of the leaders of French song at the end of the century. As comfortable in classical as in variety, Pagny is undoubtedly one of the only artists to be able to perform a duet of size with Johnny Hallyday. His seventh album Châtelet les Halles confirms this unparalleled talent as a performer. The use of an effective orchestration, reinforced here and there by resolutely modern programming, highlights this inimitable voice. This endearing and melancholic opus with bittersweet (“Châtelet les Halles”) or tortured (“And one day, a woman”, “Les Ombres”) texts offers a fine analysis of love relationships, but also of the confusion linked to incommunicability ("La Solitude"). The whole gives off an elusive scent of authenticity that we will love to breathe deeply. --Valerie Dupouy
