Marthe Fleurant - Joujou DAmour

Review by Sarah Ketron

Joujou D'Amour is a delightful album by Canadian singer-songwriter Marthe Fleurant. The album is a mix of original compositions and covers of classic French songs, all of which are beautifully arranged and performed.

The album opens with the title track, "Joujou D'Amour," a charming love song that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Fleurant's voice is sweet and gentle, perfectly suited to the romantic themes of the songs.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Les Feuilles Mortes," a classic French song that has been covered by many artists over the years. Fleurant's version is particularly lovely, with a haunting arrangement that perfectly captures the melancholy mood of the lyrics.

Another highlight is "La Vie en Rose," perhaps the most famous French song of all time. Fleurant's version is a stripped-down, acoustic arrangement that emphasizes the beauty of the melody and the simplicity of the lyrics.

Summary by Sarah Ketron

Joujou D'Amour is a lovely album that will appeal to fans of French music, as well as anyone who appreciates beautiful melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Fleurant's voice is a joy to listen to, and her arrangements are tasteful and elegant. Highly recommended.
