The French singer-songwriter Izïa offers a radically pop fifth album, far from the rock’n’roll memory left by songs like Back in Town (2009). And if the titles My heart and Sadness, among others, are indeed there to make us dance and sing at the top of the lungs, nevertheless the artist keeps her soul and her energy as a rocker. The proof, if one were needed, with Crazy woman. On resounding and exhilarating synths, Izïa does not hesitate to tell things as she thinks them, as she lives them: / But I’ll never be the same again. » Our dreamswith its mesmerizing side, and Black Star — even if the two pieces are poles apart — also illustrate the heady potential of Speed. Even if the set of 13 songs can sometimes prove to be slightly inconsistent, or at least musically agreed, we can never blame Izïa for not being authentic.
