From wiki, "The lyrics were written by ten prominent female writers from Quebec (Jovette Alice Bernier, Janette Bertrand, Denise Bombadier. Marie Laberge, Lise Payette) and France (Nina Bouraoui, Françoise Dorin, Nathalie Nechtschein, Christine Orban, George Sand)". Cool. Looking inside the booklet, there was sketched portraits of each contributor, felt like a very confident package.
Ultra highlights:
- Opener "Et s'il n'en restait qu'une (je serais celle-là)" starts off well. Kinda eerie in an electronic way. Not long before it goes epic pop on you.
- "Immensité". Great hooks.
- "A cause"*. Again, great hooks, more electronic dance-ish this time around.
- So inspecting the album track by track, I soon realised that everything here is sublime. Go listen to it already.
Might investigate more Céline Dion now, based on my positive experience of this record.
*Those are the first three tracks of D'elles. I've got a theory that albums succeed or fail on the strength of the opening trio of songs. This album succeeds.
