Françoise HARDY - 12 juin 2024

 

Françoise HARDY has left us at the age of 80.  Time then to revisit her reflective 2018 album, Personne d'Autre.  The sleeve notes record: "Pour des tas de raisons raisonnables, je n'envisageais pas de refaire un album".  So pleased that she did make it thanks to conversations between her and producer Erick BENZI.  

The last track of the album, Un mal qui fait du bien was co-written in September 2017 with Thierry STREMLER.  The final couplet roughly translates as "I stop there, I hold back; neither last word nor final word..." It says: "j'arrête là,  je me retiens ; ni dernier mot ni mot de la fin..."
