Our Take

MAURICE CHEVALIER's Platinum Collection is a whimsical and charming journey through the French icon's greatest hits. Chevalier's distinct vocals and playful lyricism shine throughout the album, transporting listeners to the romantic streets of Paris with each track.

From the infectious energy of "Louise" to the suave sophistication of "Valentine," Chevalier effortlessly captures the essence of French chanson with his charismatic delivery and undeniable charm. The lively orchestration and jazzy arrangements only add to the album's timeless appeal, making it a must-listen for fans of classic French music.

But it's not all sunshine and roses on Platinum Collection. Chevalier's more introspective tracks, such as "Sous les toits de Paris," showcase a depth and vulnerability that is often overshadowed by his larger-than-life persona. These quieter moments serve as a reminder of Chevalier's versatility as an artist, adding depth and nuance to an already impressive body of work.

Overall, Platinum Collection is a delightful compilation that pays tribute to one of France's most beloved musical icons. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, this album is sure to bring a smile to your face and a spring to your step. Maurice Chevalier may have passed on, but his music will continue to enchant audiences for years to come.
