Psychédélices

Amazon Price: $22.98 (as of 11/23/2009)

Aliz%uFFFDe, now aged 23 and no longer under the guidance of her former mentors Myl%uFFFDne Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat, undeniably demonstrates her ability to produce music that is on par with if not, at some times, better than what Myl%uFFFDne and Laurent scripted for her in earlier days. Citing a desire to explore new musical possibilities as the reason for her split with Myl%uFFFDne and Laurent, Aliz%uFFFDe has clearly succeeded in this regard; her newest album "Psych%uFFFDd%uFFFDlices" reads (or listens, rather) like a journey through varying musical landscapes, each being mastered by Aliz%uFFFDe's dazzling voice and the poetic verses of Jean Fauque that are expertly crafted to feature endless double meanings (a quality which Aliz%uFFFDe has wisely chosen to preserve from her days with Myl%uFFFDne).

Some of the album's best pieces include the California-rock inspired "Fifty-Sixty" and "Lilly Town," the ever seductive "Mon Taxi Driver," and the delightful Nelly Furtado-esque "Par les Paupi%uFFFDres." The album concludes with Aliz%uFFFDe's charming love ballad to her daughter in "L'effet."
