Fontaine,Brigitte Brigitte Fontaine Est Folle CD

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of the French Avant-Garde artist's 1968 album. Rich in the drama she brought to theater, Fontaine synthesized chanson (French pop song) and world music, which eventually won her international acclaim as a performer and collaborator with a variety of artists from around the world (Art Ensemble of Chicago, Sonic Youth and Stereolab, to name just a few). on Est... Folle, Fontaine takes flight over conductor Jean Claude Vannier's brilliant arrangements. Fontaine is adventurous and multi-dimensional with sophisticated lyrics, poignant melodies and enthralling delivery. Such artful handling of meter and rhyme (or lack thereof) is rare in pop song. Far from the era's y?-y? phenomenon, but never fully removed from it's traditions, Est... Folle is an essential link in French pop music, exuberantly pushing the genre into more conceptual and experimental sounds.
