'Trash Yéyé', that was the title of the previous CD from this versatile and very industrious French performer. This year alone, Benjamin Biolay was producer of the latest CD’s from Julien Clerc ('Où s'en vont les avions?') and Coralie Clément ('Toystore'). As author and composer, he recently wrote for Isabelle Boulay and Elodie Frégé. As arranger, he was responsible for the strings on the latest Carla Bruni CD. As actor, he even played in Stella, a film to be released in the fall of 2009.
But there’s more: it is especially as Benjamin Biolay, singer-musician, that he is an astoundingly creative source. Elegantly navigating between melancholy chanson and urgently longing pop, he provides us with splendid albums like 'Négatif', 'Trash Yéyé', and a brand new CD 'La Superbe', recorded in the ICP in Brussels! And also the winner of 2 Victoires de la Musique!
His vocal timbre and arrangements, his photo poses and live-interpretations... You may think to grand-master Serge Gainsbourg, but that is a great compliment in this case: Benjamin Biolay supplies timeless songs in the fine French tradition of Henri Salvador, Juliette Gréco, Stephan Eicher, Keren Ann, Françoise Hardy, Raphael, Elli Medeiros...

Support act will be fresh French revelation Joyce Jonathan. Has a just recently released first CD: 'Sur Mes Gardes' (via Warner) and also 'Je Ne Sais Pas', an extremely likeable single with a 'Brussels' clip!
