spirityouall by Bobby Mcferrin - Uhune

ALBUM

Quel autre sorcier peut faire tourner tant de styles et d'invention autour de son seul organe, pour lequel le mot don se justifie pleinement ? Créateur et recréateur de mélodies enchanteresses de « Don't Worry Be Happy » ou « Blackbird » à « Circlesongs », Bobby McFerrin - la voix dorée de dix Grammy Awards - retourne à la source de son enfance après avoir passer trois décennies à explorer de multiples registres. La fontaine de jouvence de Spirityouall est constituée de treize chants coulés dans le socle des negro spirituals, ceux que lui chantait son père quand le gamin de Manhattan était encore en âge de babiller.

Devenu le chantre à dreadlocks dont chaque album a également pour but de délivrer un message universel d'amour, de paix et de fraternité, « Mastervoice » égrène une à une les mélodies archi-rebattues du grand catalogue américain pour les transformer et les magnifier à un degré totalement inédit. Rarement les « Everytime » (« ...movin' in my heart »), « Swing Low » (enrichi de pedal steel et de piano électrique), « Whole World » (bercé d'une douce scansion nimbée d'accordéon) ou « Glory » (le gospel joué dans un esprit country folk) pour nommer les quatre perles reprises avec la radieuse Esperanza Spalding, ont résonné aussi profondément dans les coeurs.

Parmi les quatre titres que le fils de Robert McFerrin Senior reprend de l'album paternel Deep River de 1957 figure la prière « Fix Me Jesus » clamée dans un registre blues parcouru du fond de voix basse à l'aigu cristallin. Davantage qu'un instrument de démonstration, la voix du maître est un outil taillé et peaufiné pour embellir les joyaux du répertoire négro-américain (sept des treize compositions) ou de nouveaux standards, à l'instar de « I Shall Be Released » signé Bob Dylan. Cette pure merveille de simplicité contribue à élèver le chant au rang d'art absolu.
