CD | Such a funny idea, love

"De l'amour mais quelle drôle d'idée" is truly an actress's album. Born from her collaboration with Léonard Lasry, Charlotte Rampling imbues each song with her instantly recognizable vocal imprint, creating a unique result. With melodies and production featuring luxurious arrangements, the songs are sometimes spoken, sung, and performed like movie scenes. The exceptionally poetic lyrics evoke intimate feelings ("Magnifique n'est-ce pas", "C'est écrit là dans nos yeux") with an alternation of tenderness, melancholy, and sometimes even a few amused and piquant notes ("Non je ne vois pas qui vous êtes", "Je ne suis pas celle que tu crois", "Assez voyagé"...)
Custom-created for Charlotte Rampling, these 10 songs are signed by the duo Elisa Point (lyrics) - Léonard Lasry (music), who also share the duet "Via Condotti", a poignant ballad set in the streets of Rome released last spring and which was the starting point for the recording of this album, as unexpected as it is enchanting.
