Our Take

French chansonnier Alain Souchon is back with another retrospective collection, this time titled "Lessentiel." For those unfamiliar with Souchon's work, this album serves as a perfect introduction to his unique blend of pop, rock, and folk stylings.

From the catchy hooks of "Foule sentimentale" to the introspective balladry of "L'amour en fuite," Souchon showcases his versatility as a songwriter and performer. The production on these tracks is clean and polished, allowing Souchon's distinctive vocals to shine through.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "La Ballade de Jim," a jaunty ode to a quirky character named Jim. Souchon's playful lyrics and infectious melodies make this an instant earworm that will have you tapping your toes in no time.

Overall, "Lessentiel" is a solid addition to Alain Souchon's discography and a great starting point for newcomers. Fans of French music and pop enthusiasts alike will find something to love on this album. So grab a bottle of red wine, put on your beret, and give this one a spin – you won't be disappointed.
