ALBUM

Trois ans après You're Gonna Get Love (2016), chanté tout en anglais, la Néerlandaise Keren Ann change de langue et de style avec ce huitième album entièrement francophone, Bleue, mélancolique à souhait, épousant les contours d'une pop sophistiquée.

La chanteuse qui s'était jusqu'à présent distinguée par son style folk des débuts et une forme plus rock et électrique, au fil des albums, opte pour une veine nouvelle où le piano, la basse et les arrangements de cordes, plus prégnants, embellissent ces dix chansons. En cela, Bleue se dote d'une atmosphère qui n'est pas sans rappeler l'album Histoire de Melody Nelson (1971), signé par l'une de ses influences principales, Serge Gainsbourg, sans l'aspect sulfureux des textes bien entendu.

Dès le titre d'ouverture « Les Jours heureux », piano et cordes tissent une toile musicale que les textes soigneusement écrits de Keren Ann ne font qu'ajouter au charme poétique et mystérieux de l'ensemble. La voix doucement posée, le vers étiré pour mieux en savourer les mots et les rondeurs, quelques notes délicates et une production méticuleuse concourent à cette réussite qui correspond parfaitement à son timbre et à son style. À cet égard, le titre « Bleu », où chaque détail resplendit, s'impose comme un titre majeur de son répertoire. Le suivant, « Le Fleuve doux », n'a pas grand chose à lui envier par la finesse de sa mélodie.

Dans le même sens, avec une petite touche de guitare électrique sur « Nager la nuit », l'enchantement initial se poursuit au gré de compositions minimalistes comme le premier extrait « Sous l'eau » ou « Ton île prison ». Sur « Le Goût d'inachevé » arrive une visite en forme de surprise avec l'apparition de David Byrne. L'ancien chanteur du groupe Talking Heads, descendant d'ancêtres bretons, chante ici en français comme rarement, sur le titre le plus musclé de l'album. Cette tonalité plus pop-rock emporte également les deux derniers titres « La Mauvaise fortune » et « Le Goût était acide », sous la forme d'un talk over.
