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 just a little idea, nothing more. Three words that sing and go together." Poet, secret traveler of intimacy, composer of distant inner worlds, Maxime Le Forestier delivers here, with modesty and fragility, his music of embers ("L'Écho des étoiles", "Minimum que Minnie m'aime") and mist ("Petit nuage sur Amsterdam," the city where he isolates himself to write and compose). L'Écho des étoiles was born under the sign of escape, with sounds from elsewhere. A stopover in Africa ("Affaire d'État"), in Mauritius and more specifically in Rodrigues (which he calls "the smallest dot on the map"), where he immersed himself in Creole rhythms ("J'aurais ta peau"). A search for lost paradise, a quest for the absolute; the singer-songwriter strips away the superfluous to keep only the essential. He assembles words, illuminates them with his pen, and brings them to life on the tightrope of life. Then come the meanderings, the paths, and the dead ends, with songs that touch ("L'Homme au bouquet de fleurs"), get stuck in our heads, and seize the spirit far beyond the literal. --Valérie Dupouy
