ALBUM

Sous une pochette étrangement réminiscente de celle de Missing...Presumed Having a Good Time de The Notting Hillbillies paru il y a vingt ans - et sur le même label Mercury -, Gérald de Palmas affirme sa volonté de changement en apparaissant avec un groupe et non en artiste solo. Cette jaquette traduit aussi un désir plus profond de changement de registre, soit l'abandon d'un pop rock tirant sur la variété pour l'adoption d'un rock plus brut.

Volontairement enregistré en studio mais dans les conditions du direct pour garder toute son énergie, l'album De Palmas offre un programme malheureusement chanté en partie en français et en partie en anglais. Malheureusement parce que cette dualité linguistique indique que la bouteille reste à moitié vide. Soit Gérald de Palmas voulait faire un disque de rock en anglais et il aurait dû aller au bout de sa démarche, soit il voulait ménager son public en gardant son idiome habituel sur cinq chansons.

Il faut d'ailleurs remarquer que les deux premiers simples de l'album, qui n'ont pas eu le moindre succès, sont bel et bien chantés en français. Que ce soit le rock abrasif de « Serait-il ? » ou « Je me souviens de tout », la chanson la plus proche de son style habituel, ces deux extraits n'ont séduit ni les radios ni le public et ont provoqué le report de la date de sortie de l'album, initialement prévu pour septembre 2013.

Ces considérations dépassées, il reste un bon album de rock classique malgré la difficulté du chanteur de s'adapter à la langue anglaise. « Flying Away » avec son climat tout en guitare slide invite à voyager vers les grands espaces américains ; « Better Like This » n'est pas loin de sonner comme du Creedence Clearwater Revival ; « Jenny » est une jolie ballade comme il en faut au moins une dans chaque album de rock. Même la reprise du « Jolene » de Dolly Parton avec Elisa Jo est plutôt une réussite dans une transcription beaucoup plus rock que l'original.

Si Gérald de Palmas a voulu se faire plaisir avec De Palmas, il a en bonne partie réussi son affaire. Si son objectif est d'entraîner derrière lui son habituel et nombreux public, il est à craindre que la sortie de route soit proche.
