Joe Rocca - French Kiss - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Chilly Gonzales is as well known for his intimate approach to the piano through his Solo Piano album trilogy, for his talent as a showman performing in the philharmonic halls of Europe in slippers and robe, and for his collaborations with internationally renowned artists such as Feist, Drake, Jarvis Cocker and Daft Punk. In 2023, he takes a new artistic turn with French Kiss, his first album written and performed in French. Before moving to Germany, Chilly lived in Paris for almost 10 years. Recently he started spending time in France again and immersed himself in French literature. The first eponymous track on the album, InchFrench Kiss', announces the reasons for his renewed interest. It is a text that has very specific references to French culture, ranging from Molière to Benjamin Biolay, via Virginie Despentes, Emmanuel Carrère, François Mitterrand, Makala and Thomas Bangalter. To produce this album, Chilly Gonzales got closer to the new generation of French talents, mixing them with old friends and one of his heroes, to whom he gives up his place at the piano for the first time. But Gonzo does not abandon his solo piano. He reinterprets the giants Gabriel Fauré and Michel Berger, and plays an instrumental duet with Christine Ott and her mysterious Ondes Martenot. A brief interlude recounts the equally brief collaboration with Charles Aznavour, and to make us dance, he offers a cover of InchCut DickInch by Mr. Oizo and the a Remix by Myd. Also featured on the album are Bonnie Banane and Juliette Armanet, Arielle Dombasle and Teki Latex, and Richard Clayderman. Album Tracks 1. French Kiss 2. Il Pleut Sur Notre-Dame (Feat.
