Details: Amazon.ca À la lumière marked in 1998 the beginning of Jane Birkin's musical adventure with Étienne Daho, Alain Souchon and Miossec. Six years later, these faithful companions linger again with the ex-fan of the sixties who gives them See you for a series of duets. Watched over by the gifted Gonzales and Renaud Letang, the tandem that makes Dani say It all depends on the context, they joke about original compositions and unexpected covers like a dramatic version of "Pour un flirt avec toi" with Miossec or a tropical version of "La Grippe" (formerly contracted by Brigitte Fontaine and Jacques Higelin) with Étienne Daho. Other volunteers such as Brian Molko from Placebo, Paolo Conte, Beth Gibbons from Portishead and Caetano Veloso are getting down to work. In English, Japanese, Brazilian or Italian. It's in French that Mickey 3d scratches the tangy accent of Jane Birkin "Je m'appelle Jane" and that Françoise Hardy whispers "Surannée" by the mummies fisherman Benjamin Biolay. But the ultimate Rendez-vous is the one where the crystalline voice of Jane Birkin is lost in the dark electronic chant of Brian Ferry on "In Every Dream Home A Heartache". --Sabrina Silamo
