Café De Paris by Marc Almond is a delightful album that takes listeners on a journey through the romantic and nostalgic world of French chansons. The album features Almond's unique voice, which is perfectly suited for this genre of music, and the arrangements are beautifully crafted to capture the essence of the songs.
The album opens with "Ne Me Quitte Pas," a classic song by Jacques Brel that Almond sings with great emotion and sensitivity. This is followed by "Les Amants D'un Jour," a beautiful duet with Sarah Cracknell that showcases their vocal chemistry.
Other standout tracks include "La Vie En Rose," which Almond sings with a sense of longing and melancholy, and "Sous Le Ciel De Paris," which is given a modern twist with its electronic beats and synths.
Café De Paris is a wonderful tribute to the French chanson tradition, and Almond's interpretation of these classic songs is both respectful and innovative. This album is a must-listen for fans of French music and anyone who appreciates great vocals and exquisite arrangements.
