Content: We already got the opportunity to make a few reviews of EP’s by Aube L. This French autonomic artist now strikes back with a new album revealing 10 songs.

Aube L is first of all an artist with a particular timbre of voice. She’s playing with her vocal skills in a quite experimental way, which sometimes gives you the impression of hearing an extra instrument or yet a kind of effect. She’s able to sing like the sound of whales and sirens. It’s a particular experience and for sure the main characteristic of her work. From the very first song Aube L invites the listener to join her mystic universe, which musically is an offspring between pop and rock music.

The songs reflect a kind of sadness, but still a part of reverie. But the album really starts to get interesting when she’s experimenting with sounds and even a touch of neo-classicism. “Like A Bonfire” is a pretty cool song that might evoke the experimental and very personal touch of Björk. This is also one of the songs sung in English, but the main tracks are sung in her mother tongue.

“S’Offrir Le Monde” is another noticeable song and I here even can speak about a real beautiful composition, which has been meticulously built up. I also like the lyrical content of this song. Another and somewhat similar track is “Le Roi Des Ombres”, which clearly confirms this is an artist with her very own approach and genre.

A last and essential element of this release consists of the artistic digipak, which simply reminds us that CD format always will have this little extra compared to digital platforms.

Conclusion: I don’t like all the songs at this album, but there are a few beautiful compositions on it revealing the proper sound of this artist.

Best songs: “S’Offrir Le Monde”, “Like A Bonfire”, “Le Ciel S’Est Ouvert”.

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
