Our Take

Francis Lemarque may not be a household name in the UK, but his classic tracks are sure to get your toes tapping and your hips swaying. Anthologie 1949-1959, curated by the one and only Dany Lallemand, is a delightful journey through Lemarque's early years in the music industry.

From the charming "Aristide" to the infectious "Bal chez Temporel," this anthology is packed with catchy tunes that will transport you to the bustling streets of 1950s Paris. Lemarque's smooth vocals and playful lyrics will have you feeling like you're sipping a café au lait at a sidewalk bistro.

The album's production may not be as polished as modern releases, but that only adds to its vintage charm. Each track is like a time capsule, giving a glimpse into a bygone era of French music.

Lallemand's direction on this anthology is spot on, capturing the essence of Lemarque's artistry and presenting it in a way that feels fresh and exciting. Whether you're a die-hard fan of chanson music or just looking to expand your musical horizons, this album is a must-listen.
