Time obviously has little influence on Robert Charlebois . Of great relevance and still so cool at the dawn of his 75th birthday, he is launching a 25th album: And here it is .
We hear ten new songs where, with humor, melancholy and poetry, the artist takes a retrospective look at his life, the man realizes that the years are slipping by. This disc thus marks many beautiful reunions.
first with Louise Forestier who joins him for a duet where the magic operates, once again; it is also lost and found texts, including a particularly biting one from the friend Rejean Ducharme ; it is the love that he declares to women and to his own above all else; it's a tip of the hat to two giants: Johnny and Elvis; it's Charlebois who reconnects with rock'n'roll on a text written to measure by Simon Proulx ! Gus Van Go And Werner F. sign the realization.
It's surrounded by two young New Yorkers from the hip-hop scene, the multi-instrumentalist jesse sign and the keyboardist Chris Soper , that Robert Charlebois has recorded And There you go at Boiler Room studios in Brooklyn.
This remarkable mixing of generations and musical baggage has proven to be prolific and the result is a happy fusion of influences on each of the songs on the disc.
