Tété is back four years after the release of the fantastic Le Sacre des Lemmings with Le Premier Clair de l’Aube [The First Rays of Dawn], which brings on the catchy funky francophone chanson.

Tété’s voice is soothing, so he could get away with being all dramatic and emotional while singing French ballads. Instead, he brings the fun with fast-paced songs that will make the 37-minute album fly by.

Even though it’s really a distinct album by many of today’s musical standards, it doesn’t hold anything against the masterful Lemmings, but that has little to do with the success of this one.

Highlights: Le Bal des Boulets, Maudit Blues, Les Temps Egares, Petite Chanson
