The bard from Astaffort returns after five years with his fourteenth studio album. With A l'Aube revenant, Francis Cabrel's new album, released last month, is very much a "cabrélien" affair. Blending his trademark themes with his characteristic folk ambience, the French singer-songwriter presents us with thirteen refined tracks, where renewal is to be found in the finesse. An exquisite album, like all his others, even if we may regret the artist's new melodic habits. But they also have their good points. Analysis.
