Additional Information
At the end of January, French singer-songwriter Laura Cahen launched her third album, De l’autre côté, co-produced with Mike Lindsay (Tunng, LUMP with Laura Marling) and Josephine Stephenson (Damon Alban, Arctic Monkeys). More inspired by British and American culture than French, without in any way denying it, Laura Cahen offers 10 songs. In a world that is regressing and going up in flames, love, desire and sexual identity inspire flight, the quest for a safe place conducive to harmony between beings different from the conservative norms that have become pre-eminent once again. “I imagine a world not far from our own, burning on all sides, with bombs falling all the time, an ecological crisis in full swing, and increasingly conservative and radical governments. In it, two women would fall madly in love and have to leave the city to find a better place where their love would have a chance to exist.” What’s the story? A conversation is in order, because De l’autre côté is a substantial album where poetry prevails over pamphlet, where art and feeling have the last word. For PAN M 360, Alain Brunet virtually reached Laura Cahen in France.
