CharlElie Couture definitely is a difficult artist to pinpoint. Three years after the bluesy album he recorded in Australia (Victoria Spirit) , he came back with of his more relaxed/chanson oriented offerings to date. Les Naïves is a sweet album where CharlElie's poetry never seemed to match so well his music. All the songs are rather short and the little interluded which have been placed here and there throughout the album give it a sens of unity none of his previous works ever achieved. As you might have guessed, this is my favorite album by Mr. Couture, one I can play either on a rainy day so to bring a little sunshine or when it's sunny so that it bittersweet allures make me feel a little blue. A must try for anyone interested in things French.
