Details: Product Description After eight years dedicated to writing for others and playing characters in major musical works, Daniel Lavoie returns with new songs, all composed by him and polished by two word-smiths: Brice Homs (Florent Pagny, Michel Fugain, Sanseverino) and Patrice Guirao (Johnny Hallyday, Jane Birkin, Les Dix Commandements). A very personal album, even if the author chose to step back in favor of the composer: "Writing is painful for me, whereas music flows naturally. The lyrics by Brice and Patrice correspond exactly to what I wanted to do and say." From this meeting between authors and composer came songs that are amorous, melancholic, and profound, with accents of Europe and the Orient. Produced by Jean-François Berger and Philippe Eidel, and recorded notably with the strings of the Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra, the album received excellent reviews upon its release in France on January 27th under the Mercury-Universal label: "This record travels through writing of refined simplicity, with discreet spells... a record of this kind often ends up becoming a friend" - Le Figaro "A great record that will require multiple listens, due to the quality of the chosen words, the beauty of the compositions, but also the emotional power" - Ouest-France The first single "Bénies soient les femmes," which continues to climb the Quebec and European radio charts, inspired director Laurent Berger (Le Petit Prince) to create a wonderful music video celebrating Woman in her many facets. The record will also mark Daniel Lavoie’s return to the stage in 2004. Comédies humaines tells fourteen stories "like little pieces of us," a journey of tenderness 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 hasn't lost his touch. Surrounding himself with collaborators with clever pens, he set meticulous lyrics to music in a sober fashion, then performed them with the nuance and accuracy we know him for. A beautiful return.
