One year after the magnificent album ATubades, Jean-Michel Blais offers his nocturnal counterpart. The soft and intimate EP Serenades thus includes three previously unreleased tracks and five solo piano covers of previous orchestral compositions — Love, Loafer, Yanni, Ouessant And Whispers. If they borrowed at the time a form of life sometimes sparkling, sometimes majestic, the latter are now revealed in the hollow of a lull, more peaceful, but no less pleasant and moving. One of the new parts, The fall, was notably composed by Jean-Michel Blais for the left hand following an injury caused by a fall, of course! Those who have already seen the artist perform know that he is not lacking in humour… Enough joking, the somberness and the torments expressed in The fall make it an extremely touching title. The creaking floors, the musician’s breathing audible in 117 And good morningas in the rest, lend a raw vibe to Serenadeswhose experience is seen as a cocoon.
