Even though I don't understand French, the singing is really powerful and emotive. It's not really my thing but enjoyable for the theatrics.

I kinda liked this? but also, I'm sure I don't ever need to hear it again. 3/5

I enjoyed the orchestra (more accordian and theremin, please!), but not much else. I can give Jacques credit for giving his all, his performance is clearly passionate, but I would not choose to listen to this again.

I don’t know what I was expecting here, but I kind of loved it? My experience with French music is pretty damn limited- mainly just the Neigeverse and Charlotte Gainsbourg- but this is right up my alley. It’s basically a Parisian Sinatra backed by Duke Ellington, which yes please. Will come back to. B
