It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Lara Fabian energies, virtually a rebirth. It has been nine years Lara Fabian’ last studio CD, “Carpe Diem” which won Array Academy Awards� and was nominated for album of the year. Stanley Donwood has compared writing for Lara Fabian’s new album to that on ‘Carpe Diem’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. I wish that “Carpe Diem” album was instrumental.
Tu T’en Vas - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody. Leila have really caught my ear and imagination. Il Existe Un Endroit is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. Je Suis Malade is absolutely incredible. Simple and heartfelt closing track Je Vivrai closes Carpe Diem on a high note. It took me a little time but I ended up loving Au Loin L0-Bas. So much energy, so exciting a sound.Once Pas Sans Toi gets in your head, it will NEVER leave. This is one hell of a track. Saisir Le Jour rocked my world when I popped it into my car stereo. This track is full of harmonies and gets Carpe Diem off to a relaxing start. This track is clearly meant to showcase Lara Fabian’s vocal abilities.
