Christophe Maé’s third studio album springs to life with “Tombé sous le charme”, a single that evokes the stylistic traditions of the American South through brassy Dixieland horns, jaunty guitars and the rollicking rhythms of a New Orleans street party. On the follow-up to Maé’s chart-topping 2010 effort On trace la route, the singer uses similar Cajun influences generously, adding plenty of ornate embellishments to his brand of blissfully laid-back folk-pop. Je veux du bonheur is filled with memorable melodies and lyrics that impressively demonstrate his disarming songwriting talent.
