I discovered this singer a couple of months ago.
His music and lyrics are dark strokes of hazy smoky atmospheres, melting away love relationships, which shape his work in a hermetic and inaccessible way and therefore with not millions of fans, fortunately.
Well known in France, less known out its borders, Benjamin Biolay was born in 1973; he’s Chiara Mastroianni’s husband, Catherine Deneuve and Marcello Mastroianni’s daughter.
He's been lyricist, arrangist and producer for great French singers like Juliette Gréco, Julien Clerc o Françoise Hardy.
He’s been regarded for critics as the successor for the French Chanson, especially for Serge Gainsbourg.
His style is a mix of pop and jazz, with intimate and, sometimes, gloomy arrangements.
This song is from 2003. Its title, Négatif. Here is the video:
