We had to wait 18 years. 18 years in the music industry for us to experience the first musical thrill in French. Well, nothing is ever lost in advance and we must not despair! And it is in Paris that hides the one who would trigger the ultimate sensation that we are looking for our site: Fievel. With a unique voice, recognizable among thousands of voices (which gives him a huge advantage, not insignificant for an artist), Fievel has created an incredible musical universe. Anything is possible when you listen to "Yeux Noirs", which means "Black Eyes", you just have to close your eyes, imagine yourself wandering in any setting, and the magic operates. It's quite rare, because often you have to rack your brains to be able to project yourself so far with the artist. And after receiving nearly 10,000 songs since the launch of Indie Music Center, the same pattern often recurs: the thrill occurs in an epic finale, after a gradual rise in emotions. But Fievel turns things around and gave us chills in the first few seconds, as soon as he started singing. "Yeux Noirs" took us straight into a mystical musical universe, halfway between magic and poetry. The simple but effective melody alternates between piano-voice passages and more intense passages, with the siren song which captivates us from the first note. The lyrics are made of rare beauty and escapes the simplicity of anything you can hear on the radio these days. Having known many radio musical programmers, there are many who would like to have such a gem in a playlist. Even if in France, musical discovery on the radio is still a "risky" bet, with this song, the risk is worth taking. Usually, to make our decision whether or not to present a song to you, we need 2 or 3 plays in a row if we have the slightest doubt. From the first seconds of this track, we knew it would be YES. And a huge YES. This famous siren song confirmed us in our idea when our arm hairs stood upright, and tears began to rise in front of so much beauty. We recommend listening with good quality headphones, and at a high sound level, to enjoy each sensation. Because the production is at a very high level of quality. The reverb delicately affixed to the voice is skilfully dosed and further strengthens the magical side of Fievel's voice. We have only one regret. Less than 3 minutes was way too short. Thank goodness the "Replay" button exists. A lot of times when you've gotten chills with a song, you listen to hundreds of them then, then listen to it again, and the magic just kinda fades. But in writing this article, the miracle happened: BAM! Upper arm hair in less than a minute. Magic, isn't it? Special mention for the lyric video: Fievel's universe is as neat visually as it is musically. First shivers in French. Strong addiction to song. Our favorite of the year? Yeah, we dare. This is could be our favorite of the year.
