This could literally be my new number 1. I'm beginning to think the impact this is having on me is akin to Forever Changes', Ready To Die's or I Am A Bird Now's. Extremely few music is life-changing, and this is among it. Wow.

This album is the debut by one of the most legendary French pop musicians. Like, there's literally a park with his name in Paris, where I used to go when I was young. Tbh I have no idea why it's so incredible. The music is very simple, with usually just an acoustic guitar and him singing. The lyrics do a lot of the job I think, he's a wonderful storyteller. Most of them are either about sex or slightly off-putting subjects (policemen getting hit by old women's boobs and getting their heads crushed in their asses, or a gorilla raping a magistrate), but for some reason it totally works. Probably because of his voice; he sounds like that friend of your dad who comes once in a while and tells crazy stories. But there are also very touching songs on it, like the one about him finding a girl in the street while it's raining, and letting her use his umbrella. I just can't help but smile during the whole record. Actually it's very French. Like I don't think I've heard an album being so French before. Maybe that appeals to me in one way or another, and I don't think I'd recommend it to anyone not in touch with the language, but each time I listen to these 19 minutes of music I get things from music I never got before.
Sorry if it's too long haha, I have no idea if that makes sense. At the same time I just finished another first listen from a French pop legend :
Which was really good. Obviously Cactus is the standout, but on the whole it managed to keep enough personality not to be a bland 60s' pop-rock record. Not like that fucking Polnareff for example.
