Fans of Rita Mitsouko consider " Système D " (1993) to be one of their most successful albums. The music, arrangements and lyrics escape the first listen to this album, which surfs on ever more varied styles, deliberately out of trend. And it is precisely the secret of a durability difficult to calibrate with triturated, dissonant rhythms which go off in all directions. But let's leave to the sacred duo, the dose of unpredictability that makes their charm. Here, the arpeggios shatter, giving pride of place to the dizzying back and forth of swing, blues and rap. There, the songs impose themselves with their corrosive, neurotic lyrics (" Y'a d'la hatred ", " Chères petite ", " La belle vie "). Note the cover, new version of "La steppe" taken from their first album released in 83, " Don't Forget the Nite ", and a duet with Iggy Pop for " My Love Is Bad ".
