 (1 Customer Review)
The beautiful and charming French actress and chanteuse performs 14 dramatic pop songs on this romantic collection.
Those who've seen actress Anna Karina's films with director Jean-Luc Godard may recall that she sang in a couple of them back in the 1960s, and Une Historie d'Amour does include two Serge Rezvani-penned songs that she originally performed in Pierrot le Fou: "Jamais Je Ne T'Ai Dit Que Je T'Aimerais Toujours" and the bonus track "Ma Ligne de Chance." The rest of this album consists of contemporary songs by Philippe Katerine, including one with lyrics by Karina ("Petite Lola") and another with lyrics by both Karina and Katerine ("Qu'est-ce Que Je Peux Faire"). The two of them share vocals on four songs ("Aimons l'Amour," "Qu'est Ce Que Je Peux Faire," and the aforementioned Rezvani numbers), but Karina is at her best when on her own. She doesn't have the greatest voice in the history of French pop, but her singing sounds appealingly smoky and self-confident. The album's mood ranges from relatively light and breezy ("Aimons l'Amour") to somber and dramatic ("Copenhague"), and the quality is sufficiently consistent to satisfy curious cinephiles and French music fans. You won't get English translations with the scanty liner notes, however, so if you don't speak French you'll have to make up your own subtitles in your head. ~ Todd Kristel

The Cinderella-esque climb from lo-fi indie cult artist to Grammy nominee/major label darling must have been a perilous one for Smith, who makes the leap to the big time here after three well-regarded albums on small labels. He's lost none of his bite, though. The production values on XO may be slightly higher, but Smith's vision remains undiluted.
The production, centered around acoustic guitar augmented by keyboards and lush vocal harmonies, recalls pop icons like the Beach Boys (especially on the closing acapella cut), Beatles and Big Star, but this is no sunny Cali-pop album. Leavening the instrumental brightness are Smith's Nick Drake-ish whisper and his thoroughly downcast lyrics, which cast him squarely in the Mark Eitzel/Smog camp of unrelenting self-effacement and misery. The combination of Smith's internal angst and his ...

On his first record since his Oscar nomination courtesy director Gus Van Zandt's use of his music in the film "Good Will Hunting," Elliott Smith returns with another album's worth of gorgeous misery. Like Nick Drake before him, Smith has the ability to conjure beautifully poignant pathos, wrapping it in an elaborately arranged package worthy of a George Martin or Brian Wilson. Working with Beck/Foo Fighters producer Rob Schnapf, Smith uses Abbey Road Studios for some of these sessions, dressing up his tortured lyrics with orchestral arrangements that avoid any hint of mawkishness.

| | Arcade Fire Funeral CD (2004)
Une Historie D'Amour album
$11.89
This Montreal ensemble's fiery debut is marked by surging guitars, soulful strings, driving drums, brilliant bass lines, and the quavering vocals of married couple Win Butler and Regine Chassagne. The group's song structures careen through a vast territory of musical and personal history, with lyrics warm with memories of childhood neighborhoods and deceased loved ones, resulting in an alternating current of joy and sadness.
Favorably compared to the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, and Broken Social Scene, the Arcade Fire's sound seems to come from a lifetime of listening to the Cure, Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, and many others--even a dose of soul gets worked into these grand anthems. Chassagne delivers some spellbinding vocals on "Haiti," while the tinkling piano and strings ...

Elliott Smith's death in 2003 left a cavernous hole in the world of popular music. Tender, intimate, and painfully honest, the songs in Smith's catalogue capture the fragility of human existence with rare, breathtaking beauty. On his first posthumous release, Smith reaffirms his status as an extraordinarily gifted artist, giving fans yet another reason to mourn his tragic loss.
Conceived as an ambitious double album, FROM A BASEMENT ON THE HILL was ultimately narrowed down to 15 tracks by Smith's close ...
