Juliette Gréco - Accordéon

Review by michael angelo rangasajo

Accordéon, the latest album by French singer Juliette Gréco, is a charming and nostalgic tribute to the traditional French chanson. Gréco's voice, still full of emotion and depth, perfectly matches the delicate melodies played by the accordion, the instrument that gives the album its name. The songs, all in French, range from romantic ballads to more upbeat tunes, and showcase Gréco's talent as a storyteller. The lyrics, written by renowned French poets such as Jacques Prévert or Léo Ferré, are both poetic and simple, and convey a sense of melancholy that is typical of the French chanson. Accordéon is a lovely album that will delight fans of French music and introduce new listeners to Juliette Gréco's timeless artistry.
