CHARLELIE COUTURE
SOUDE - SOUDES (1999)
320 KBPS
Twenty years after his debut, French singer/songwriter CharlElie updated his sound by looking to the new wave of post-millennium pop; in the liner notes, he name-checks the Eels, Tricky, Orb, and Ben Harper. The result is one of CharlElie's best albums since the early '80s — a brilliant set of twisted songcraft that balances dark, sampladelic electronic soundscapes with upfront melodies and aggressive, confident vocals together with some bluesy tones to warm up the mix... Highlights include "Je L'aime Quand Elle S'aime" and "Les Idées Contraires."
