Details: Product Description After eight years devoted to writing for others and embodying characters in major musical works, Daniel Lavoie returns with new songs all composed by him and chiselled by two artisans of the verb: Brice Homs (Florent Pagny, Michel Fugain, Sanseverino) and Patrice Guirao (Johnny Halliday, Jane Birkin, The Ten Commandments). A very personal album, even if the author has chosen to step aside in favor of the composer: "Writing for me is something painful while the music flows from source. The texts of Brice and Patrice correspond exactly to this I wanted to do and say." From this meeting between authors and composer were born loving, melancholic and deep songs with accents from Europe and the Orient. Directed by Jean-François Berger and Philippe Eidel, and recorded in particular with the strings of the Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra, the album garnered excellent reviews upon its release in France on January 27 on the Mercury-Universal label: "This disc travels in writing with neat simplicity, with discreet spells...a disc of this kind often ends up becoming a friend" - Le Figaro "A great record that will require multiple listenings, by the quality of the words chosen, by the beauty of the compositions but also by the emotional power" - Ouest-France The first excerpt "Blessed are the women", which continues to climb on the Quebec and European radio charts, has inspired the director Laurent Berger (The Little Prince) in the creation of a wonderful music video celebrating the Woman under her multiple faces. . The disc will also mark Daniel Lavoie's return to the stage in 2004. Human Comedies tells fourteen stories "like little bits of us", a tender journey with its detours, its wanderings, its great joys, its little tragedies and its comedies. Amazon.ca Some eight years had passed since Daniel Lavoie's previous solo album. Rest assured, the artist has not lost his touch. Surrounding himself with collaborators with skilful writing, he set to music in a sober way meticulous texts, to then interpret them with the nuance and accuracy for which he is known. A nice comeback. See the full list of .
