Details: An excellent composer, Julien Clerc knows how to cloak his lyricists' words in refined and inventive music, while some of his catchy, rhythmic melodies serve as invitations to dance. This is something his loyal concert audience is well aware of, and which this thematic compilation with the explicit title, Danser (Dancing), abundantly testifies to. Across 20 songs, it offers an enticing, festive program, blending rock, pop, salsa, and swaying rhythms. Arranged in reverse chronological order, it opens with Julien Clerc's most recent repertoire, featuring two tracks from the album Julien ("Au bout du monde" and "Assez... assez") and works its way back to his third album, Niagara. It is an opportunity to rediscover many of the hits that have marked the singer's long and rich career, performed with his warm, vibrant voice: "Jouez violons, sonnez crécelles," "C'est une Andalouse," "Elle voulait qu'on l'appelle Venise," "Macumba," "Quand je joue," "Coeur de rocker," "Lili voulait aller danser," and "Mélissa." It provides a chance to revisit, through the various periods of his creative exploration, the shimmering world of an artist open to all musical currents. --Sylvie Devilette
