Glamour, glory, and beauty. Three words that perfectly sum up Hélène in Paris, the new queen of the City of Lights, a phenomenon singer, 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, Fabrice Aboulker, Léonard Lasry, and Elisa Point. In other words, the crème de la crème of French pop writers 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 concentrate of pop, happiness, fantasy, humor, chic and shocking Parisianism, and charm with three exclamation points!!!
After "Ferrari", an explosive first single, the album takes detours with the tender and sweet moment that is "Preuves d'amour" (Proofs of Love), a duet featuring Hélène and Marc Lavoine. It winds towards fantasy tinged with a slight melancholy with "Cocktail 5 étoiles" (5-Star Cocktail), stylishly repurposing the mythical Dim tights music as a gimmick. It soars straight to seventh heaven with "Alors tant pis" (So Be It), a weightless elevator duet between Hélène and Bertrand, which has the tranquil pop nonchalance of Lanzmann's hits for Dutronc, only to then infect us with the dance virus with "Va t'faire voir au paradis" (Go to Hell), 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 is Your Heart On), before concluding with her unshakeable hit and personal mantra, "Just be you".
Her name is Hélène, and remember her name well: it's Hélène in Paris, the one and only.
