Ninth studio album for Sophie Huriaux. Which happens to us in January because offbeat: the post-pandemic fall rush has been cruel. Grande Sophie was reasonable, she was usually so impatient. Maybe there is no more ordinary? “We don’t know where we’re going […] We go through together / an episode that is unlike / like no other time,” she sings in the first person plural. With her only guitar, as in the 1990s of her debut, she goes. walk towards The sea, picking endlessly. Stop the time to watch the world go by, see yourself growing old: “The body changes / in exchange for what? What about the past, people you only see now and then, she wonders in The goodbyes. And then there she is in a hurry to live “the time we have left” in A novel. Simply, with all the lucidity of a popular singer who lasts gently, La Grande Sophie goes around the situation. His, ours. And we, faithful and somewhat in the same state as her, we follow her.
