Details: Product Description France. Amazon.ca How does Benjamin Biolay's barely audible thread of voice manage to be so heady? He who would pass off Étienne Daho for Pavarotti has a force of attraction that comes from the heart and a rare melodic inventiveness. To the point of not being able to contain his creative passion on a simple album. And BB (sorry, those are also his initials) to tell on 21 tracks the story of another BB, Billy Bob, who is finally right. We will listen to the 2 CDs until the end to (perhaps) unravel the mystery. This voice, this whisper, can be cruel ("Chambre 7"), determined ("Billy Bob is right"), tender, or disillusioned philosopher ("Les Insulaires"). Benjamin Biolay does not consider his songs as bursts of light or even small rays of sunshine. Which did not prevent him from signing Henri Salvador's most popular album for decades. It's that the BB, while remaining himself, blends into his characters, and when his double (the other BB if you've followed, the "hero" of Negative) presents itself ("Holland Spring"), we still find resemblances to its creator. Which masters the whole chain that leads to this double CD, alternately withdrawn and intimate, or exuberant and open ("Bain de sang"). The varied use of classical instruments and the electric guitar makes it a disc with a persistent charm. --Jose Ruiz
