Dominique A rushed for a tour for his latest work until April 2010 . Back on his latest album Music it will be the long-awaited dedication of the public.
Dominique A, a fashionable craze
It took the rhetorical quagmire of a growing part of the new French scene, the untimely death of the last icons hexagonal the autarky breathless style aesthetes the race for the majors that I take the time to lend an ear to the work confusing warned that tough guy, by his intimidating stature and reputation as a composer rarely shaken rigorous follows the trail like a mutt faithful. Skull dry as a monk imposing modern television appearance equal to nil, radio presence more than expected drop of water lost in the Aral Sea, Dominique A was enough to attract my curiosity, but fifteen years ago, the Twenty-Two Bar had left an erasable. The pace of fixed thirties, too cramped in its quaint nautical wear irritated me a little, to share a song or two as should not wish death on people very influenced by Gainsbourg the first period which he has nevertheless retained some intonation or Secretly impregnated emergency and acidity present in the tone of certain words.
I could not grasp his approach, and over time, I tripped over his discography devoid of thread, consistency illuminating. His album titles deliberately abstract made me think more, when I listed at the retrospective of a cameraman missed the New Wave whose coils have consciously tasted the dust of an outdoor center Henri Langlois from adulterated or charts a trainee who Editions de Minuit, a little tired to move in the space of a diffusion felted atonal, have suddenly decided to push the song to cover, with stamps bulging, his mouth in Drouant costs.
Telerama or Inrocks could s'ébaubir to the intransigence of immovable ethereal scholar, I left the sect of devotees collect subscriptions, this worldly passion left me indifferent.
Bashung wanted the Dominique A
Outside, a few months ago, still traumatized by the death of Bashung, I decided to browse through the delivery of the aborted projects that have contributed so called the preparation of his final album Blue Oil . Losing my way in the jungle tempting composers who were able to facilitate the delivery of his latest hard-working, and between Méliès Armand Gaetan Roussel, quoted Bashung Dominique A, with the pride of a late discoverer, quietly celebrating the skill of Writing Artist delicate scholar, restive in the light of the media and dissolute charm of sirens of easy fame. Almost too talented, Dominique A he posed a thorny problem, his world was already too led to the disc Alain can absorb without damage this unique musical identity. This missed opportunity will give the master of remorse, he would want to end up not being able to find arrangements that can enhance the silverware properly Language Dominique A, discrete wordsmiths had patiently refined in Workshop on melancholy to satisfy the requirement of the Dean decline. The song Immortals occupied a prominent place in the esteem of the singer but could not fit perfectly into the mosaic of turbulent Blue Oil Geyser styles to unintended consequences, Refinery talent most assertive of the song in French called text, and quite ignored if Bashung had turned in their direction the blinding beam of his notoriety patriarchal.
Music is an album of great beauty.
Music is an album of great beauty, dense clouds at the time, the mastery of writing confounds and gentle voice calls undoubtedly praise beyond measure, the atmosphere on an alternate mode a nice smooth ballads and songs more evanescent removed, where taste one hand, a patient regaining a lost paradise point unambiguously behind visions partially Rimbaud. Immortals is a moving composition, it prejudge the literary scholarship of forty, the Michaux We both still seems convened here, the arrangements but never overwhelming holders make this song a testament love easily recoverable by the bereaved souls but promised rebirth after the disappointment of fractures. The meaning is a black star in a stationary position in the galaxy of pain scalable voice, close to the confession religious, bordering the fracture is an uncompromising assessment of the struggles that we must take to avoid sinking into the tide of the absurdities of everyday life. Without any mannerisms, the sound work, furiously contemporary, gives a credible role in electronics and expands in a controlled incandescent however. Hasta (que el cuerpo aguante ) - and its chorus slamming into a symbol - is the first song that prompted me to revisit my perception of the character. Here, nothing to throw, his tempestuous rhythm would not support any changes, the text is strong, it comes out like a boxing match, exhausted but happy with the soul covered in bruises and cracks heart finally dressed for clogging expected that nothing can now threaten.
Dominique A brilliantly shows us that we can focus the debate, demand a certain level of play without the need to do is make a straight cut in the range of a public whose recklessness and desire to get out of ruts consumerism are not the most visible qualities. The success of this fine album is in many ways extremely reassuring.
