Hi all,
This french song is written and sung by Patrick Fournerat.
It's about a travel in slavic countries always with a map in the hands.

Chris,

Patrick's vocal is very nice.

Enjoyed my listen a lot.

What I really like most about this is how organic it sounds.

The instruments and vocals go together wonderfully - nice mix, good singing.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Top quality work again. I know just enough French (seven years study as a kid) to get the gist of the lyrics. Thanks for another great contribution to the forum and happy holidays to the both of you!

'Chris 37'...

The song blends the blues into the traditional French 'chanson' style in a way that is melancholic, yet simultaneously sweet-feeling, too. Mr. Fournerat's singing voice fills up all the spaces in the music with his delightfully dark (as in 'dramatic') and expressive vocal presence, as usual. The waltz style invites dancing, as well!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the both of you smile !
