JANN HALEXANDER - OBAMA
"A beacon in the night wept with beautiful lights ..."
Still in a round of songs, chronic feelings of colorful, shade light, Jann Halexander trace his way: a dozen album in 7 years, as many chapters of a diary of life, his life, our lives. Far enough fates formatted fed every human interbreeding and music, he moves without worrying too much about bar codes and labels.
"There are many disadvantages to being an independent singer ." Undoubtedly, but it yal'irremplaçable advantage of the freedom to create without constraint. Without the ulterior motives of the expectations of "my public" as some say, making songs in the form of ready to hear you would like the loan-to-wear show.
Jann Halexander makes no concessions to populist musically correct, " People of color are nothing special" is an echo Emile Ajar / Romain Gary "I'm different just like everyone else" and in this song say it all, about human identity, simply human.
In this exhibition of kaleidoscopes memories, Jann Halexander also Matilda, Waltzing Matilda had adapted the Francis Lemarque, but perhaps you know the true nature of Matilda, an evening concert with Clemence holiday Anne Sylvestre. , France is the country of the song ...
You could say that this album takes a break, with flashbacks to a singer-actor-director vaguely vaguely black white , Angevin Gabon fed multiple stories and songs from all pain. And the gentle countryside of Anjou does not get " table" with cousins of bourgeois Brel for any meal with a menu, seasoned with sour-sweet and bittersweet.
But "A beacon in the night wept with beautiful lights ..."
