THE REVIEW

This forty-something chubby and bald man with questionably stylish clothing is Philippe Blanchard, the undisputed legend of French glam-kitsch-trash-disco-pop. Combine his look with his feminine stage name, and you get this one-of-a-kind character, and we're not talking about a newcomer here since he's been around since 1991...

The album in question is the summation of his style, synthesizers, trendy dance rhythms, open to funky sounds and aggressive transitions... what sets this record apart from the usual stuff is the effeminate and almost annoying voice of this style icon from across the Alps, the improbable high notes, the off-key moments, the glam-vocoder, the choruses...

In conclusion, the album is delightfully trash'n'chic, it brings a few smiles and makes you move your hips in several spots, while in others it makes you wrinkle your nose, these are the parts where he tries to give us some rare electronic sounds, not really his field... The absolute gems are "luxour j'adore", a synth-rock for an out-of-tune soloist and even worse choir, "78/2008", a very 'Daft Punk'-esque piece with a children's chorus to boot, and "100% vip", with two irresistibly groovy funky guitars...

A must-have album for lovers of conscious musical trash, ideal for a wild Saturday night at your favorite bocce club or for the Thursday afternoon orgy at the chess club.
