Trash Yéyé, the fourth album from French singer
Benjamin Biolay, was released in September of 2007. The title, a reference to the bubbly yé-yé style of music popular in France during the 1960s, is not to be taken literally. The album was recorded over the course of two years, partly in the United States. The end result of those two years were 57 tracks, eventually narrowed down to the 12 found on
Trash Yéyé. From the first strains of "Bien Avant" through "De Beaux Souvenirs,"
Biolay's deep, recognizable voice resonates throughout. ~ Celeste Rhoads
