Since completing 2000’s ‘ALLUMER LE FEU’, Johnny Hallyday fulfilled their contract with Virgin Records and where under no obligation to release another album. It’s natural for Johnny Hallyday to take a stab at ‘ALLUMER LE FEU’ considering her long-professed love for Godsplague. There is no doubt that Johnny Hallyday has talent. Great Chanson right here!
CE QUE JE SAIS is a cool sing-along. The song LA MUSIQUE QUE J’AIME ending is my favorite… so catchy! I came to like PARDON. You have to get essence of the PARTIE DE CARTES’s power, to truly understand this masterpiece. Johnny Hallyday sings QUE JE T’AIME in such a comforting, confident voice that you can’t help but be moved. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. SANG POUR SANG is a song to enjoy for years to come. This is one hell of a track. Johnny Hallyday is one of artists that allow his songs like VIVRE POUR LE MEILLEUR to stand on their own and be heard. GABRIELLE is the song that really did it for me. I can’t stop humming along RETIENS LA NUIT. OH MARIE have really caught my ear and imagination. LAISSE LES FILLES is the gorgeous blend of moody yet optimistic tunes. TOUS ENSEMBLE is just a great song and one well worth taking the time to give it a good listen.
