Ne Joue Pas, the latest album by Colette Dereal, is a mesmerizing collection of songs that showcase the artist's unique blend of traditional French chanson and modern pop sensibilities. From the opening track "Je Suis Libre" to the closing number "La Vie Est Belle", Dereal's vocals are rich and emotive, conveying a range of emotions from joy to heartbreak.
The album's production is equally impressive, with lush instrumentation that includes accordion, guitar, and piano, among other instruments. The arrangements are at times sparse and intimate, allowing Dereal's voice to take center stage, and at other times grand and sweeping, adding to the album's epic feel.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "L'Amour Est Un Voyage", a beautiful ballad that showcases Dereal's ability to write heartfelt and poetic lyrics. The song's melody is haunting and memorable, and the instrumentation perfectly complements the romantic and dreamy atmosphere.
