Our Take

In their latest tribute album, JACQUES BREL / VARIOUS invite listeners on a whimsical journey through the iconic works of the legendary Jacques Brelin. This British English take on the Belgian chanson master's classics is equal parts cheeky and charming, serving up a delightful blend of irreverence and reverence.

From the rollicking accordion melodies of "Amsterdam" to the hauntingly beautiful "Ne Me Quitte Pas," each track on this album showcases a unique interpretation of Brelin's timeless songs. The diverse lineup of artists featured on the album bring their own flair to the table, creating a tapestry of styles and sounds that will keep listeners on their toes.

Standout tracks include "Le Moribond," with its jaunty piano accompaniment and wistful vocals, and "La Chanson des Vieux Amants," a tender ballad that tugs at the heartstrings. Throughout the album, JACQUES BREL / VARIOUS pay homage to Brelin's legacy while infusing each track with their own distinctive twist.

With its infectious energy and undeniable charm, this tribute album is a must-listen for both die-hard Brelin fans and newcomers alike. So pour yourself a glass of wine, sit back, and let the music of JACQUES BREL / VARIOUS transport you to a world of whimsy and wonder.
