[TR24][OF] Keren Ann - Bleue (Deluxe) - 2019 (French Pop, Chanson)

For her 8th album, Bleue, Keren Ann marks the change. In French from end to end. A first since Nolita (2004). The melancholy and folk, dominates in this new album. About love, attachments and how it can disintegrate and is too quick. Keren Ann, a one woman-orchestra, has designed and directed Bleue from start to finish.
The album features a surprising duet with musician David Byrne (Talking Heads), a musical icon that recorded his own version of Keren Ann’s song a few years ago. A song that without understanding French also manages to distill the feeling of disconnecting a couple, two who made mistakes and have to move on, without guilt and regret, only sadness.
Keren Ann's life as well as her musical endeavors are in almost constant motion. She was born in Israel and grew up in Holland and France. After her big break in France she moved to the US, and later spent a few more years back in Israel. Through all these relocations, Ann has maintained a high level of musical activity, including new albums, touring, a wide range of music for theater, dance, film, television, opera, and collaborations with a wide range of artists in an almost infinite musical spectrum - Iggy Pop, Debussy String Quartet, Avishai Cohen, Shlomi Shaban, Questlove, Francoise Hardy and many others.
Her album releases have always enjoyed a warm embrace from the public and favorable reviews in the media world. She maintains her high position in the pop world thanks to her relatable songs written without stylistic compromise. In her work, you can notice influences that balance between Serge Ginsburg and Bob Dylan, or Carol King and Leonard Cohen. Keren Ann's songs all manage to convey a feeling of melancholy and deep longing, something very personal that connects to each and every one. A unique combination of blues, classical and folk music.
