Toutes les femmes en moi
2009 | Lara Fabian
The sixth studio album from one of my favorite artists, Lara Fabian. It’s been four years since her last studio album “9” released in 2005. She picked and filled the album with songs from the past.
Literally “Toutes les femmes en moi” is a cover album featuring the tunes from Nana Mouskouri (Soleil Soleil), Diane Dufresne (J’ai douze ans), Véronique Sanson (Amoureuse), Barbara (Göttingen), Dalida (Il venait d’avoir 18 ans), Nicoletta (Mamy Blue), Maurane (Ça casse), Nicole Croisille (Une femme avec toi), Céline Dion (l’amour existe encore), Françoise Hardy (Message personnel), Catherine Lara (Nuit magique), Édith Piaf (L’hymne à l’amour) plus one original song written by Lara Fabian (Toute les femmes en moi)
There are good cover songs in this album such as the lead single “Soleil Soleil”, “J’ai douze ans”, “Göttingen”, “Il venait d’voir 18 ans”, and “Nuit magique”. However the rest just sounds below my standard, well, below her usual standard that I highly anticipated from Lara Fabian. The music arrangement is kinda lame, I mean this is the year 2009 not 1999, either you should come up with superb music arrangement or go purely acoustic because the music arrangement in half of the songs in this album makes me feel like they were made in the 90s then i look up my calendar on my desk again and it still says 2009.
Overall this album is a bit disappointment for me, not only there is only one new song “Toutes les femmes en moi” which i do not like. The cover songs come with average arrangements. And the great voice of Lara Fabian cannot brighten then up as it should be.
