Details: Product Description New French Vocalist, Currently Climbing the Charts. Her Music Achieves Cross-Over Between Black American Soul and Funk and French Song Writing. Amazon.ca Softness, finesse, and introspection are on the agenda for this shimmering self-titled album that revealed a true personality of French chanson. From her childhood spent in Los Angeles, Téri Moïse kept musical memories whose traces can be found on her debut album: James Taylor and Michael Franks, among others. Entirely played with live instruments, with the exception of the track "Ce conseil," which includes beats and samples, Téri Moïse is co-produced by Etienne de Crécy, a sound engineer who would make a name for himself that same year, 1996, with his open-minded house music ("Super Discount"). Favoring hushed moods and dim lighting, these ten tracks (plus one hidden one) tell stories of lost love and existential doubt, but also the hope for an escape through imagination and writing ("Les poèmes de Michelle"), as well as the joy of giving life ("Je serai là"). On the radiant "Comment aller là-bas," Téri remembers her Haitian roots by rediscovering a certain African color absent from the rest of this opus, which oscillates between restrained funk and string-laden pop-folk. --José Guerreiro
