Just twenty years into his career, fourteen albums released, and soon his seventh solo album. He moves calmly in a world that demands speed, intuition as his guide and sincerity as his compass. On January 26th, Tom Poisson's new album, simply titled "Jean-Michel", will be released. It took storms, disappearances, immense joys and births. It took writing, composing, singing, producing and staging; concerts, multi-artistic experiences and other musical shows. Trying, persisting, varying forms, starting again (...) so that Poisson could get even closer to himself. Jean-Michel is his birth name. It is him. The 14 songs that make up this new album are him, in all his intimacy, his DNA in a way. Him, a father. Him, an artist. Him, now an orphan, an unsettled but optimistic global citizen, who dances when life leans, who doubts when others know, who runs just before fear paralyzes him. Album after album, Tom spreads his flying fish wings, offering us a relief theatre imbued with humanity and thus manages to irrigate his too vast imagination. His flaws are ours, his soaring flights relieve us.
