     Johnny Hallyday is another artist who's had numerous phases in his career - after all, he's been at it for over thirty years! This release finds him in the capable hands of writer/producer Pascal Obispo, whom Johnny asked to write the material for this album (Pascal has his own spot on the Listening Station).

     "Chacun cherche son cœur" follows, another ballad in which Johnny shows his impressive vocal abilities. By the fourth track, "Allumer le feu", Johnny is back in familiar territory - rock & roll, with loud guitars and gritty vocals. "Les moulins à vent" borrows from the electronic-rock sound popularized by U2 on their last few albums. There is even a duet between Obispo and Hallyday, "C'est la vie qui veut ça", and their voices blend surprisingly well. There is really something here for everyone.

     I must admit, this was the first full Hallyday album I had heard and I wasn't sure what to expect. Now Hallyday has won me over as a fan, and this CD is a must for long-time or even recent fans of Hallyday's music. A truly excellent work!
