Glamour, glory, and beauty. Three words that perfectly sum up Hélène in Paris, the new queen of the City of Lights, a singing phenomenon, and a social media icon.
The height of this late and unexpected celebrity? The recording of an album written and composed for her by Bertrand Burgalat, Marc Lavoine and Fabrice Aboulker, Léonard Lasry, and Elisa Point. In other words, the cream of the crop of French pop songwriters and composers gathered around our new star like fairies around a cradle. Titled "Jamais dire jamais" (Never Say Never), this sparkling album reflects its performer: a pure concentration of pop, happiness, fantasy, humor, chic and shocking Parisianism, and charm with three exclamation marks!!!
After "Ferrari," an explosive first single, the album takes a detour with the tender and gentle "Preuves d'amour" (Proofs of Love), a duet featuring Hélène and Marc Lavoine. It meanders towards fantasy tinged with a slight melancholy in "Cocktail 5 étoiles" (5-Star Cocktail), incorporating the legendary Dim tights music as a chic gimmick. It heads straight to seventh heaven with "Alors tant pis" (Oh Well), an elevator and weightless duet between Hélène and Bertrand, which has the calm pop nonchalance of Lanzmann's hits for Dutronc, only to then infect us with the dance bug with "Va t'faire voir au paradis" (Go See Paradise), a pure moment of bliss composed by Burgalat. It takes us on a journey to "Formentera," a beautiful dreamy track written and composed by Marc Lavoine and Bertrand Burgalat, veers towards humor with a new duet with Marc Lavoine, "J'te dirai ouais" (I'll Tell You Yeah), goes straight to the purest romanticism in a sublime duet with Léonard Lasry, "De quel côté votre cœur" (Which Side Your Heart Is On), before concluding with her unshakeable hit and personal mantra, "Just be you."
Her name is Hélène, and remember it well: she is Hélène in Paris, the one and only.
