CD Reviews

Goldman's melancholic CD(review from a French girl)
04/27/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"En Passant is probably Goldman's most melancholic CD, the one made after his divorce. The melodies are beautiful, and the lyrics the saddest ones he's ever written. But no doubts it's Goldman. Every song means something and you really need to translate them, to understand them because it will open your mind to the world.To understand that "there's a question in 'I love you' that asks 'do YOU love me?'"('sache que je')"
Eclectic, seductive, poetic

"If your French isn't perfect,order a little French dictionary too--since the lyrics in French are included but untranslated. Then, like me, you will have the pleasure of uncovering the poetry of these lyrics line by line, while this gentle voice seduces you. Love sogs, Russian melodies, musings in a sidewalk cafe... The web bio (I NEVER looked one of these up before) says Goldman was once imitative of Aretha Franklin and Eddie Cochrane. HUH? Maybe as a callow boy but not any more. There has been a major evolution here, this is a sweet weary grownup singing. Like Eric Clapton in "Unplugged", in French. Buy this."
Refreshing new music from the best of French music

"This is definitely the album for the 90's! In it, we can clearly hear the maturity that JJG has acquired after all of his hits from the 80's. En Passant is a great, romantic, relaxing, and poetic CD that will please all listeners. I became one of his biggest fans after this CD and then was tempted to trace back his music and was not disappointed in the least bit. I love his music and hope to hear much more from him."
