Hi all,
Here's a french tango !
Philippe Janin has composed the melody, written the lyrics and he sings.

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/adele-3

Here's an approximate translation :

Adele is a beautiful woman,
she is smiling at me.
I watch at her like a scientist.
It goes without saying that on her bed I’m lying down.
I expect her to undress and I am gently swaying.
Her gestures are so graceful.

Chorus: Adele stirs my desire
and I want to fly with her now, and I want to fly with her now.

Does Adele have as many lovers as they say downtown ?
This question horrifies me, by the way.
I’m staying here in love with her, I like all her slow gestures.
The movement of her laces reveals my childhood dreams.

Adele attaches herself all the time.
Eternal feelings are inside her.
That’s her Chemin de Compostelle .
This beautiful lady looks at me so sweetly that I can’t resist.
From time to time I'm crazy about her and I love her all the time.

Christian & Philippe

Nice. Cool backing tracks. nicely mixed.

The prominent bass is a good choice.

It was nice to have the French lyric to follow. Cool to SEE the rhymes...

Enjoyed the listen.

I don't recall hearing a tango recently, and certainly not one in French.

Ha! Great lyric.

I enjoyed listening. smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Christian, Philippe and yourself have delivered a remarkable song.

I'm not sure of the French lyrics, but the English translation is both evocative and sensual.

Nicely done.

Nice work - I love the groove on it, and the tango vibes make for a delightful listen. The vocals flow gorgeously over the instrumentation too, and I thought the mix was concise and professional.

Thanks for sharing smile

Thanks Floyd, Ember, David, Trev and Deryk.
I like to try some musical styles I'm not used to and Tango is one of these. And Philippe has got the voice to sing it ! Christian

This is very cool - excellent music, melody & narrative but the vocal recording isn't up to the rest:
there seems to be a lot of room sound, (could be reverb added), as well as it sounds as if Phillippe is moving to the mic during the 1st line.
Terrific song regardless.


Cheers

Anyway... I like the song... well done, Chris!

Christian (and Phillipe),

Very nice number . . . can see a field of ballroom dancers tango-ing away to this one. Very crisp vocal sitting over a perfectly mixed production. Love the acoustic guitar solo. Well done!

My best to you both,

Deej
