Les Negresses Vertes - Il
Review by Cristina Houle
Il is the fifth studio album by the French band Les Negresses Vertes, released in 1997. The album features a fusion of various musical styles including rock, reggae, and traditional French chanson, creating a unique and eclectic sound.
The album opens with "Easy Girls," an upbeat and catchy track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's signature accordion and violin are prominent throughout the album, adding to the overall French vibe. The lyrics are mostly in French, with occasional English phrases thrown in.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Face à la Mer," featuring guest vocals from French singer and actress Catherine Deneuve. The song is a beautiful duet that showcases the band's ability to blend different genres seamlessly.
Another notable track is "Hey Maria," a reggae-infused song with a catchy chorus that will have listeners singing along. The album also includes a cover of the classic French song "Le Poinçonneur des Lilas" by Serge Gainsbourg.

Excellent ce groupe les nègresses vertes.
Une vraie identité qui me fait penser au ruelles de Pigalle et de Montmartre autour d un café ou bistrot ...
