Our rating: ****
The French are on Gypsy music. This is nothing new. By mixing this music with jazz and chanson, and entered with a singer who flirts with hoarseness: there is ZAZ.
In the first few minutes one is through the voice of Isabel alias ZAZ just blown away: hoarse yet open, vibrant, cheeky. A shock. It therefore needs a few minutes, until you realize that this album has much more to offer than a great voice, melodies, intoxicating rhythms, and simple but ingenious arrangements.
Later with repeated listening, it is clear that the band constantly on known music-quarter slide, without losing their own thread: Michel Jonasz, Francis Cabrel, Edith Piaf, Ella Fitzgerald, Serge Lama, Mano Solo ... you can find everything. French for a treat, because the whole thing feels cozy.
This has Pepp, Draft, everything. Please
more!
Merci.
