A champion of clear and pop lines, Fabien Martin has been carving out a path of beautiful musical clarity for two albums and an EP already. With this ".aMour(s)", he confirms that he indeed possesses the art and manner of composing songs whose melodic obviousness never ceases to seduce.
Constructed as a concept album recounting the famous seven years of a romantic relationship, this new album can be listened to in one go. What we hear is all of a musical film, a superb sentimental and tragic film. We can also detach each of the songs, and adopt them as such.
".aMour(s)" could then prove to be a major album. One of those albums that just appears, seemingly out of nowhere. And which gradually produces its effects, with each listen. Exploring a subject as old as the world, but necessarily always and invariably burning, Fabien Martin manages to renew it. To give it its contemporary, flamboyant and pertinent credentials.
Pop music, in his hands, remains fascinating and undeniably the most beautiful tool to express the bursts of love and sentimental falls.
