Fragility, modesty, delicacy -- Frànçois' voice evokes illustrious contemporaries, from Devendra Banhart to Vincent Gallo, whose vocal inflections sometimes echo behind the uniquely French timbre. Artists like Malik Djoudi with his captivating pop, in-demand jazzman Thomas de Pourquery, and British folk artist Rozi Plain all lend their talents to Âge Fleuve. These three delightful collaborations blend seamlessly into the album's ten tracks. But the album's fluidity is also felt in the flavor of certain compositions, like the upbeat "Où mène la nuit," a kind of mystical inquiry into the whirlwinds of youth. Then there's "Aïeul inconnu," whose apparent melancholy pairs perfectly with its elegant groove. "Adorer," the duet with Thomas de Pourquery, is an uplifting track that jumps wholeheartedly into the joy of living in the "present moment." Âge Fleuve -- or rather, a "liquid inspiration" -- is built on a heritage of memory. And when one delves into the mystery of this heritage, the answer becomes clear: "We're here, under this part of the river, further downstream. Everything communicates, everything is in motion." In other words, an album flowing through the river of the sensory, intimate, and universal heritage.
