Daphné - La Fauve (2014)

Subtitled Ten tales witches and realistic four songs, the fifth album Daphne ( if one includes the previous tribute to Barbara ) navigates between dream and intimacy, fantasy and melancholy that are unique to the artist since Emerald debut in 2005. One who had presided over these first steps , Benjamin Biolay , is still there, behind the console or in counterpoint to the "criminal Ballade " as he was in the meantime, according to circumstances.

This customary association represents the classical aspect of the album, its arrangements bowed or plucked strings , like " Rocambolesque Marocco " or the pastoral and semi- English " Lady Dangerine " half English . In other places and other tales, the mood is the country on "Where's the fantasy? " Brought banjo and pedal steel guitar , folk Indian trend " Flores Negras "or gently East through the clarinet of" Abigail ". In " Hello to Love " Daphne returns to English. Other tales of poetic inspiration that cross the Fauve between two colors, two styles and folk song and two feelings, give it the character of both magical and fantastic.

After "Where's the fantasy? "And" Do not forgive too quickly, " the most realistic song of all , " Strabismus happy days " intimate memories sustained organ, revives feelings still on edge . The feeling may well be real, dream and its accompanying pictorial expressions is not far away. Slow waltz of " Late Harvest " closes the parenthesis before the real than the dreams regains top, between the sea chords " 100 boats in the air" and blow reeds and guitar on English " A Dragon for me ." Terminally ill, "My fire love" ends ablaze careful production, overflowing imagination .
