Lescop
Concert
14 February 2025
Lescop's return with this third album looks like the unstoppable reinvention of a French new wave.
This natural child of rock and punk has rediscovered the meaning of an intimate rebellion after having gone through some inner storms of rare intensity. As if in fact he was reconnecting today with the very essence of the candor (dark and joyful at the same time) of his first hit "La forêt"... Where he thus authorized a whole generation eager for meaning and new sounds to dance on the hot coals of a hybridization that makes the identity of today's French pop. In tandem with the director Thibault Frisoni, Lescop has built his pop edifice of 13 luminous songs around the theme of mutation, love and rebirth. Where we come across, pell-mell, the incandescent and uncompromising voices of Izia, Halo Maud or Laura Cahen. Where suddenly the power of Ash Workman in the mix offers a natural light to the record where Brighton becomes a Balearic destination... While the poetic imprint of Pasolini is next to those of Bob Dylan, Etienne Daho, or Daniel Darc, a majestic trilogy of inspiration that attests to a return to the very essence of pop. Lescop has titled his third album "rêve parti". In 13 songs with haunting magnetism, he succeeds in convincing us that it is still possible to reinvent the dream in all its utopian force.
