Details: Product Description Chatelet les Halles' (the name of a Parisian neighborhood) marks Florent Pagny's return to the French pop scene. All you need to do is look at the list of people who collaborated on this album (P. Obispo, David Hallyday, etc.) to know that he is one of the most important French artists of the last decade. This teamwork mixes pure emotions, a real look at the surrounding world and human feelings. Amazon.ca The choice of composers, to say the least judicious (Obispo, David Hallyday, Art Mengo, Gérard Presgurvic, Goldman), and this astonishing capacity to be able to push this voice to the extreme in the bass register have made Florent Pagny one of the leaders of French chanson at the end of the century. As comfortable in classical as in pop music, Pagny is undoubtedly one of the only artists capable of performing a major duet with Johnny Hallyday. His seventh album, Châtelet les Halles, confirms this peerless talent as an interpreter. The use of effective orchestration, reinforced here and there by resolutely modern programming, highlights this inimitable voice. This engaging and melancholic work with bittersweet lyrics ("Châtelet les Halles"), or tortured ones ("Et un jour, une femme", "Les Ombres"), offers a fine analysis of romantic relationships, but also of the distress linked to the inability to communicate ("La Solitude"). The whole work gives off an elusive scent of authenticity that one will enjoy breathing in to the full. --Valérie Dupouy
