curious to listen to this but I'm always happy to see the font from The Bold & The Beautiful used anywhere

I wanted to like this album more than I did. I wasn't that keen on her voice and the music seemed like Sebastien was going through the motions in places. The Charlotte Gainsbourg album did this style way better.

That is...an overstatement of its quality. I know that "person who can't sing or speak French tries to sing in French" is a beloved musical genre but this was still unlistenable imo.

Listening to this just now and it feels very much like a Tellier album featuring a guest vocalist, DVT could be anyone. He's on autopilot but to be honest I dont mind, the music sounds as lush as ever and her voice doesn't bother me the way it seems to bother everyone else. I can see why it would seem formulaic and on the verge of self-parody though, I guess I just feel amiable to its charms.

"Fevers And Candies" has got me thinking about how good he would sound working with a singer like Lana Del Rey
