The
Chanson-inspired conjunto surrounding singer Claudia González, who
joined long time ago the famous Hamburg band Goldene Zitronen, revive a
wonderful genre. What begun in the sixties with Serge Gainsbourg has now
a more modern dress. Apart from a few fantastic cover versions with new
German lyrics Universal González starts out a lot of new songs supported
by bossa nova rhythms and electronic reflections. Claudia sings about broken
dreams, whores growing old and hoobling doves. While listenig to this CD
you get the feeling of drifting away in an old French movie. Lots of pictures
floating by connected by lyrical space and this gives you the impression
of travelling away - far away. But remember: the fragile singing of Claudia
Gonzalez is only one highlight apart from the elaborate arrangement by these
famous musicans.
These songs are great, .. fragile, reserved, . near abyss. And maybe you can
call them chansons |
