Various - Chansons DAmour Noires

Review by Kim Gregory

Chansons D'Amour Noires is a compilation album featuring various artists that showcases the dark side of love through their music. The album is a blend of different genres such as blues, rock, and pop, all of which are tied together by the common theme of heartbreak and despair.

The album starts off with a haunting track by the French singer, Françoise Hardy, with her song "L'amour d'un garçon." Her melancholic voice sets the tone for the rest of the album, which continues to delve into the complexities of love and relationships.

Other standout tracks include "Je suis malade" by Serge Lama, which is a powerful ballad about a man who is consumed by his love for a woman who doesn't reciprocate his feelings. The track "L'amour est mort" by Jacques Brel is another highlight, with its bleak lyrics about a love that has died.

The album also features some lesser-known artists such as Brigitte Fontaine and Gérard Manset, whose tracks add a unique flavor to the album. The album ends with the haunting track "Ne me quitte pas" by Jacques Brel, which is a fitting end to an album that explores the darker side of love.
