"Le Marginal" - Jann Halexander, Alain Pozzuoli

"Le Marginal" - Jann Halexander by Alain Pozzuoli


Minimalism and uniqueness, these seem to be the two main characteristics of Jann and his last Halexander album, The Marginal . Indeed, while some of his young colleagues revel in emulation of oceans orchestras and thunderous sound effects, Jann Halexander focus on simplicity, the warmth of intimate piano voice, the wheedling tone and confidant In counterpoint singer-howler parties to the assault of television and radio.

Conversely Jann Halexander cares little to be present in the media landerneau. Little or no television appearances, few passages radios, antennas, but on target. The young man does not aim to squat the tops of the charts, much less to accumulate gold records and awards valued by the profession. He, however, seems to consolidate on a path "old" and only by passing on the stage, preferably in small compared with places where the viewer plays "the intimate" in promiscuity, confidence, faith, sharing. Jann Halexander is atypical of those artists who see salvation lies in the authentic, lived, reality ... even if it sometimes touches the heights of fantasy and surrealism. For the experienced Jann Halexander is not the most common or most trivial. Turn vampire mulatto lover killer and victim, this Fregoli loves sulphurous s'écartèle between attraction and repulsion ( Brasillach 1945 ) Fascination "adu-cents ( The lady redhead , song tribute to Mylène Farmer), and destructive passions ( Declaration of love a vampire , I, I, etc.).

Marginal , last opus dated singer Franco-Gabonese combine all these modes and place the favorite themes of the young singer-actor-director. Loves vampires and devouring, illusions, delusions, contradiction jumble of victim and executioner. The Universe Halexander of gently bubbling magma as becoming, as no doubt, this artist carves out its path, patiently, lovingly, away from the madding crowd, but gradually built her career, without haste, knowing in his heart that sooner or later the public will find its mark and will then follow the path of success he deserves. The proof of some famous writers like Valerie Lemercier ( Françoise G ) who was not afraid to sign on its hard-grimoire.

In the galaxy of the song, He is shooting stars and some planets flamboyant slower and quieter whose path is sometimes difficult to follow at first, eventually crystallize into the collective consciousness as evidence. No doubt, Jann Halexander belongs to this second category, and it shows little later demands a bit more sustained, it will not sink into a black hole.
