Rock is not dead. This statement, which at first glance seems commonplace, accurately summarizes Olivier Lorquin's new 45 rpm single. Composed of two tracks, "Elle aime rien" ("She Likes Nothing") echoes the classics of the genre, without falling into déjà vu.
Today, at the head of the Musée Maillol, Olivier Lorquin, who had released several records with WEA and CBS with the Marseille-based band La Connection Marseillaise and brought in Frank Margerin for the album covers, returns to his passion for music. Accompanied by his long-time companions, Olivier Kowalski, Frank Margerin, Claude Gassian, and joined by a new, significant recruit, Yan Péchin, Bashung's guitarist, he recorded "Elle aime rien," a new track with communicative energy, and revisited "J'ai un coup de cafard" ("I've Got the Blues"), one of his songs released more than 40 years ago. A true ode to rock.
