Les astres étaient parfaitement alignés pour faire une attraction de Tirer la nuit sur les étoiles, douzième album studio d’Etienne Daho. En quarante ans de carrière, l’Orano-Rennais de Paris aura su faire de ses faiblesses (voix, charisme) une force, jusqu’à s’imposer comme une référence dans ce pays.
Son rôle d’éclaireur est salué pour avoir dynamité les cloisons entre les genres, radicalité rock et légèreté pop – jusqu’au yéyé –, en montrant que l’on pouvait à la fois se revendiquer du Velvet Underground et de Sylvie Vartan, de Syd Barrett et d’Astrud Gilberto, une attitude ouverte qui définit aujourd’hui la scène française. Sans compter que l’élégance et la discrétion de cet éternel adolescent de 67 ans lui garantissent un fort capital de popularité, qu’il pourra constater à l’automne avec une tournée des Zénith de France et une apothéose à l’Accor Arena de Paris-Bercy, le 22 décembre.

By 1990, pop phenomenon-turned-solo megastar George Michael was ready to reveal more of his introspection and social conscience. Listen Without Prejudice is an intimate and beautiful album that employs aching balladry to despair for a conflict-torn world (“Praying for Time”, “Mothers Pride”) and fuses hushed folk with James Brown to mourn lost love (“Waiting for That Day”). Even the gloriously uplifting gospel-dance sound of “Freedom! ’90” houses a cautionary tale about fame’s soul-sapping effects. Leaning largely on his 1996 album Older, the stripped-back MTV Unplugged section of this remastering emphasises what an arrestingly soulful singer and songwriter Michael was.
