Details: Product Description welcome to Kiki BBQ, at the gateway to the world of Martin Léon. After frequenting the theater as a composer, after spending time with Ann Victor, between a hundred thousand projects, Martin Léon concentrated on Kiki BBQ, delivering an album of impressive maturity and rare cohesion. A true craftsman of pop, Léon masters the art of the killer chorus, carried by simple melodies. Like the theater prompter, he whispers his stories to us, whispers them to us. His music sets the atmosphere, quietly, emphasizing the essential. Like tying a fishing fly, the album was put together piece by piece in his home studio. Martin Léon signs the realization. An accomplished multi-instrumentalist, he also plays just about every instrument. How to describe the music of Martin Léon, if not that it is carried by an irresistible nocturnal groove. Mouth of hell, Léon plays all the roles. Listen to Kiki BBQ like a trip to the great outdoors. Amazon.ca Formerly crowned "future star" in the competition of the same name when he was part of the Ann Victor formation, the multi-instrumentalist Martin Léon returns quietly with Kiki BBQ, an album that is a masterpiece. On an acoustic background often supported by electronic loops, the protege of the label La Tribu sings or narrates in a pleasantly veiled voice stories of everyday life, which he encrusts with a few discreet embellishments: the revealing finale of "Gros Bill" , the use of French for foreigners in "Perte de nord", the "Pinkfloydian" accents of "Out in Time"... The singer-songwriter-director even aspires to grace for the duration of a moving ballad of simplicity, " I don't like it when you cry", which blossoms into a country chorus worthy of our best cowboys. Record of modest successes, Kiki BBQ may seem very linear, even monotonous (the mind-blowing "On your breasts" certainly is), to those who are content with a general impression. It will be appreciated rather as a first polished attempt that would benefit from having more fun. --Frederic Murphy
