Details: Product Description High on the Canadian Charts May 1999. Amazon.ca Sex, drugs and rock-and-roll have always gone hand in hand Éric Lapointe, here, does not deny this constant. Released between Obsession, which revealed it to the public, and the electrifying album live Adrenaline, In the shadow of the angel explores the cherished themes of bad boys with tender hearts: nights of libations (“Le Cœur au vive”), crimes (“Motel 117”), disappointed loves (“On commence à s'quitter” ) and celebration of sex (“Tendre Fesse”) are on the program. The singer signs the majority of the lyrics and music, in collaboration with his faithful right arm, the director, arranger, musician and backing vocalist Stéphane Dufour, and with the lyricist Roger Tabra. Often compared to the late Gerry Boulet, leader of the group Offenbach, Lapointe excels like him in howling loud and clear his joys as well as his sorrows, easily switching from heavy rock to ballad. The superb “Mon ange”, for example, reminds us that, despite being a rocker, the dark young man with his hoarse voice is nonetheless a passionate lover. -- Julie Sergeant
