Details: Product Description The legendary French troubadour Le Forestier is back with a new album mostly composed with the help of Boris Bergman, Jean Felix Lalanne and Jean Pierre Sabar. This album also features guest stars such as Jean Jacques Goldman, Zazie, Marc Lavoine... Amazon.ca “A song is a small idea of ​​nothing at all. Three words that sing and go together”. Poet, secret traveler of intimacy, composer of distant interiors, Maxime le Forestier delivers here, in all modesty and fragility, his ember music ("L'Écho des étoiles", "Minimum que Minnie m'aime") and mist ("Little cloud over Amsterdam" the city in which he isolates himself to write and compose). L'Écho des étoiles was born under the sign of escape, with sounds from elsewhere. Stopover in Africa ("Affaire d'Etat"), in Mauritius and more particularly in Rodrigues (according to him "the smallest point on the world map") where he immersed himself in these Creole rhythms ("J' would have your skin"). Searching for paradise lost, quest for the absolute, the performer, songwriter, erases the superfluous to keep only the essentials. He assembles the words, illuminates them with his pen and makes them come alive on the thread of life. Afterwards, there are meanders, paths and dead ends with songs that touch ("The Man with the Bouquet of Flowers"), run through our heads and capture the spirit well beyond the letter. --Valerie Dupouy
