Details: Product Description Germany. Amazon.ca Too long without news since this record dedicated to Georges Brassens and released in 1996. Renaud had fled from the world, the studios, fame. Depression, separation, but also alcohol have marked this way of the cross that he confronts through this highly anticipated album. The singer finally breaks the silence by making a Boucan d'enfer (Hell of a racket). Low-profile, still as endearing as ever, the street urchin of the suburbs is nonetheless a pamphleteer, settling scores with hard-hitting, scathing rhymes ("Je vis caché", "Manhattan-Kaboul" with Axelle Red) or wounded ones ("Cœur perdu", "Tout arrêter"...) and a vitriolic self-portrait ("Docteur Renaud, Mister Renard"). Entirely in the hands of Jean-Pierre Bucolo (arrangements, production, and compositions), these songs reveal a raw Renaud who has never been in such bad shape, even if in that one ("Mal barrés"), he claims to be talking about someone else. Yet, he retains a mischievous and acerbic verve ("Elle a vu le loup", "L'Entarté", "Mon nain de jardin"). And what if this album were the one of his rebirth? -- Valérie Dupouy
