With \u003cstrong\u003ebaroque and lively, melodic and catchy pop music\u003c\/strong\u003e, Rémi Nation (also behind the band Orouni) further explores the different functions of language to discuss love and politics in 12 songs, highlighting the constant ambiguity in words, conversations, speeches, and the resulting misunderstanding. From social media addiction (\"Autoporté\", \"Jamais tranquille\") to the fragmentation and compartmentalization of society by sociological groups (\"L'archipel\", inspired by Jérôme Fourquet's essay, L'Archipel français) or communities (\"La malachite\"), including police brutality (\"Le vent du boulet\"), trickle-down theory (\"Monts et merveilles\") or political interference in our clothing choices (\"Un peu de tenue\"), Rémi Nation uncovers all the contradictory and oppressive injunctions in a cryptic and playful language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eBecause, true to the popular and universal ideal that drives the institution whose name he has repurposed (the Collège de France, which has offered free courses in all areas of literature, science, and arts since 1530), \u003cstrong\u003eRémi Nation combines this ultra-modernity with classical culture\u003c\/strong\u003e, freely associating the Ariane rocket with the one that helped Theseus escape the labyrinth (\"Flagrance décollée,\" a delicate anagrammatic declaration), multiplying formal research (\"Les biches et les faons,\" all in chorus and heart, \"Méthode au logis,\" hyper-corrected when it goes from oral to written), tenderly evoking the richness of child language (\"Le langage de force\"). \u003cstrong\u003eThere is also joy, love, and great curiosity for others, all others, in these songs\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThis is what is expressed in the collective dimension of this project, involving numerous musicians, primarily Cyriane Girouard (Aldwin, Cymbaline) who sings with her clear and airy voice a good half of the album's lyrics (solo or duet), but also Marie Pierre and Ari for the female vocals. Recorded at Tropicalia studio (Paris) and mixed by Guillaume Jaoul, Langage ment unfolds an \u003cstrong\u003eambitious and spacious pop music\u003c\/strong\u003e, supported by the imperturbable rhythmic foundation of drummer Antoine Kerninon (Jil Is Lucky) and bassist Théodora De Lilez (Barbagallo, Lucie Antunes). The colorful guitars of Jérôme Pichon (Canari, Barbara Carlotti), or the more abrasive ones of Steffen Charron, and the expert string orchestrations of Rémi Foucard, and brass by Raphaël Thyss, vary the atmospheres, from \u003cstrong\u003eairy synth-pop to baroque psychedelia\u003c\/strong\u003e, featuring marimba, horn, harp, and bass clarinet. But it is above all Rémi Nation's own words that, often reduced to their simple sound, become music, rhythm the song, and unfurl the melody.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kuroneko-Boutique","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55142896271733,"sku":"PAVILLON013CD","price":14.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/7631\/9799\/files\/DigipackLangagementLCDF3.png?v=1741364579","url":"https:\/\/kuroneko-boutique.com\/en\/products\/cd-le-collage-de-france-langage-ment","provider":"Kuroneko-Boutique","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
