Details: Amazon.ca After six years of absence, Francine Raymond is back in force with an album with a dark title but luminous content. Paradise lost here seems to refer to the maturity of the singer, who is not burdened with illusions and pursues her career as an artist despite the pitfalls. The author of “Y'a des mots” deepens her search for the perfect song by serving the listener a well-structured pop-rock, dominated by a vigorous voice. Michel Le François, in addition to playing the guitar on the album, signs the arrangements and the production. On the text side, if Raymond explores intimate subjects such as romantic disappointment (“Paradis perdu”), it also offers social themes: the song “Monsieur mon neighbor”, for example, skilfully recounts the slippage of an ordinary man . Without being extremely original, Francine Raymond's seventh opus proves to be the culmination of the hard work of a singer who perfects her art without sacrificing her soul. --Diane John
