Review by Shawn Davis Kawalya

Simon Dray's album, Chanson Pour Jaques Brel San Francisco Un An Deja, is a tribute to the Belgian singer-songwriter, Jacques Brel. The album features Dray's unique take on Brel's songs, infused with his own style and interpretation.

The album opens with "Ne Me Quitte Pas," a classic Brel song that Dray delivers with a haunting and emotive performance. His voice is rich and expressive, capturing the essence of the song's melancholic lyrics.

Another standout track is "Amsterdam," which showcases Dray's ability to infuse his own style into Brel's songs. The arrangement is stripped down, with a simple piano accompaniment, allowing Dray's vocals to take center stage.

Throughout the album, Dray pays homage to Brel's legacy while making the songs his own. His interpretations are fresh and innovative, breathing new life into these timeless classics.
