Frankly, who could have imagined that places the first album of Lou Doillon, now actress singer and iconic tribesman (Doillon-Birkin and Gainsbourg extension) is not one of those ridiculous attempts to explore new artistic territories for a pretty successful actress? Clearly, not me. I figured it would be a hard crisis ego as boring as vain and pretentious, which énerverait me at least as much as, abominable, Mélanie Laurent last year, whose album (which will hopefully remain without result) revives ugly memories. WELL NO! Lou Doillon first album out so gorgeous. Lyrics, melodies, production (provided by Etienne Daho, just) and even the visuals: everything works as if Lou was always made ​​pout sing. Of course, she does not abandon completely its image poseuse Paris (especially in the ICU clip, or interview), but his voice warm and touching as is its interpretation make this first attempt a coup unexpected . Remains to be seen if this project will reach a wider audience than the hype parisiano Paris-which it is addressed first. That said, the strength of this album is rather surprising accessibility made ​​possible by the songs themselves, simple and touching. My favorite? ICU, Devil or Angel, Defiant, Questions and Answers and Places. But do not stop with these. Space is a real album, which listens and appreciates the first to the last note. That is to say it is good.
