Prolific French singer and songwriter
Jacques Higelin has been recording for nearly 50 years now, with a career that stretches back into the mid-'60s, and his carefully worded and literate songs, many of which have political themes, have become part of the art side of French pop. This set is his most recent album,
Coup de Foudre, which was released in 2010 and shows that
Higelin continues to bring a poetic freshness to his work even all these years in. ~ Steve Leggett
