Alex Beaupain - Au Depart

Review by Paloma Compadre

Au Depart is a stunning album by French singer-songwriter Alex Beaupain. The album features ten tracks that showcase Beaupain's exceptional talent for storytelling through music. The songs are introspective, poetic, and beautifully orchestrated.

The album opens with "Au Depart," a melancholic yet hopeful song that sets the tone for the rest of the album. "L'Amour Fou" is a hauntingly beautiful track that explores the depths of love and obsession. "Le Temps De L'Amour" is a nostalgic and dreamy tribute to the 1960s French pop scene.

Beaupain's vocals are delicate and emotive, perfectly complementing the intricate melodies and arrangements. The album is a seamless blend of acoustic and electronic elements, creating a unique and atmospheric sound.

The standout track on the album is "Les Jours Tristes," a collaboration with Yann Tiersen. The song is a hauntingly beautiful duet that showcases the chemistry between the two artists.
