Details: Product Description Almost nothing Amazon.ca Contrary to what its title suggests, Almost nothing has a lot to offer: cleverness of style, equivocal tone, urban atmosphere. Stefie Shock signs a first opus with a deliberately European sound, pop without affectation, sophisticated without ostentation, sexy without being touted. Finely produced in London, the album reveals an astonishing musical mastery and modernity. Stuffed with frank expressions that sometimes make you smile, all the titles provoke and seduce, from "Frein social" to "Porno Star". We clearly feel the influence of Gainsbourg, Love on the Beat period, in the dark and narrative voice, the female choirs and the chiseled rhythms. Shock, however, stands out from its illustrious predecessor by developing music that is much more than a support for words. Less disillusioned poet and more radically dancing, the composer excels in the art of rhyme in perfect synchronism with a percussive groove. To paraphrase one of Shock's songs, Almost Nothing is the best medicine to "fight the spleen". --Diane John
