Not registered yet To be registered C is a surprising opus that we will propose the singer Nolwenn Leroy on December 6 next. After a first album eponyme in 2003, the very esoteric “Natural histories” in 2005 and softness intimist and jazzy of L opus “Chechire Cat & I”, Nolwenn Leroy will reconsider its childhood by proposing ten titles referring to Brittany explicitly. This N is thus not a chance if Nolwenn chose D to entitle its “Breton” fourth opus and that the small pocket of the disc is a photograph of L artist child carrying a traditional behaviour of the area.
Its history and its cultural heritage will be put at L honor thanks to resumptions of federator titles belonging to the Breton tradition, but also to pieces in the more remote beginnings but whose cultural bond is clearly perceptible. C is L example of the recovery “Sunday Bloody Sunday”, this marvellous title Irish that L one must with the U2 group and who will integrate this next opus. With regard to the other titles which will appear in it and which were already revealed, one finds “Tri Martolod” (Three sailors), recorded in Gaelic. C is a song which had already begun again and adapted by Manau twelve years ago, under the title “the tribe of Dana” (Signal 1 in 1998).
Two clips of Nolween were turned last week to Brittany, to ensure the promotion of this new album lunch, “Breton”. One of our journalists could assist to with it: discover as of now the photographs in preview! (click on the photographs to increase them and divide them)
A return to the sources which the singer had prepared for several years. Surrounded by John Kelly and large English, Scottish and Irish musicians, it revisits in music through songs of yesterday and today the Celtic heart of these grounds which it likes so much. Songs registered in the collective memory mixing pop sonorities and traditional instruments. A very personal album which well beyond modernity falls under timelessness. We will hear there inter alia “Armorican Southern Continuation (Spezed Forgiveness)” man, a Breton traditional song slightly grivoise which, merry and desperate iced, reflects well the spirit of ancestral Brittany vis-a-vis death. “Mna Na h-Eireann (Women Off Ireland)”, a song Gaelic taken again by the greatest Celtic voices (Kate Bush, Sinead O’ Connor…). It was creates in the honor of the women who were dedicated their life in Ireland and as private individuals those of the Irish nationalist movement. “Greensleeves”, the traditional English song par excellence. According to a popular legend, it would have been composed by the king Henri VIII in the honor of a lady to the green sleeves… Anne Boleyn. “The mare of Michao” talking, Breton traditional song made famous for interpretation that had made the group Tri Yann of it. A standard of all Fest noz Armorican. But also, “Bro Goz my zadou”, “the prisons of Nantes”, “To return to Brittany” “Brest” or “I will be never your Parisian”, an original title composed by Didier Squiban, for the singer.
Nolwenn Leroy: an increasingly marked style
C is into 2002 that Nolwenn gains the 2nd transfer of L emission “Star Academy”. Very quickly, it records a first opus which meets a great success. Its voice, its force, is even known as to have therapeutic virtues explains T one in the United States. Without going until there, it is necessary to recognize with L artist a pretty powerful voice and an art of the song very well control. However, its first disc sounds variety and very impersonal: 1st with the Signal Albums, it S is past with 650.000 specimens and contains in particular the title “Broken” newest, number 1 with the Signal Individual. It is followed in 2005 by “Natural histories”. Writing and product in collaboration with Laurent Voulzy, it leaves room to the personality of the singer who ballade between hidden metaphysics, esotericism and dreams. Run out with 300.000 specimens, it succeeds in being classified 3rd with the Signal, which its successor “Cheschire Cat & me” does not manage to reproduce. This disc, published L last year, S is not imposed in the charts (Signal 26 in 2009) in spite of a quality of production without wrong note grace in particular to Teitur Lassen. Between acoustics and jazz, the singer thus proposes today a more personal disc and very intimist.
