▓████▓▌ [ A B O U T . T H i S . R E L E A S E ] ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Following the musical spiritualists (Cheb Mami, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Cheikha Remitti, Messaoud Bellemou before him, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ French vocalist Faudel is exquisite in his own ▓▌
▓████▓▌ range of Algerian Rai music. He began performing at ▓▌
▓████▓▌ age 12, covering popular tracks by Cheb Khaled and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Cheb Mami while fronting the band Les ╔toiles du ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Ra∩. This in turn led Faudel into other musical ▓▌
▓████▓▌ gigs such as opening dates for MC Solaar. In the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ mid-'90s, his rising notoriety continued to soar, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and he appeared on various French television ▓▌
▓████▓▌ programs and music festivals. Only 18, Faudel ▓▌
▓████▓▌ signed a major record deal with Mercury in 1995. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Ba∩da marked his debut two years later; Samra ▓▌
▓████▓▌ followed in spring 2001. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Finally released in the U.S., this 1997 debut is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the album that made a star of Faudel in France. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Although he looks impossibly young, he can ▓▌
▓████▓▌ certainly sing, and he definitely has the voice for ▓▌
▓████▓▌ rai, capable of both roughness and yearning. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Musically he's very much the heir of the pop rai ▓▌
▓████▓▌ style that's characterized every singer in the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ genre since Khaled. "Anti" brings in some mild ▓▌
▓████▓▌ techno beats behind the swooning strings, while ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Dis-Moi" shows Faudel's French background (rai ▓▌
▓████▓▌ might be Algerian, but he was born and raised in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ France of Algerian parents) as straight Euro-pop ▓▌
▓████▓▌ with the slight exotic touch of electric oud. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Omri" makes the connection between rai and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ flamenco (which originated in North Africa, making ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the two natural bedfellows). "La Valse" ▓▌
▓████▓▌ surprisingly shows gospel overtones, while the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ title cut casts its roots deep in the Maghreb, the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ oud over a powerful rhythm section (reminiscent at ▓▌
▓████▓▌ times of "Rachid Taha"'s work) before exploding in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Western pop chords. The key track, however, is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Tellement N'Brick," a huge radio hit, which ▓▌
▓████▓▌ appears here in both the original version, nothing ▓▌
▓████▓▌ more or less than modern rai, but which is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ transformed by a remix into "Tellement N'Brick ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (Version Hip Hop)" ù although R&B actually seems ▓▌
▓████▓▌ more accurate. It's catchy, a wonderful song, and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ performed with real charisma by Faudel, who shows ▓▌
▓████▓▌ his range, one of the defining moments of the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ expansion and acceptance of rai (and, through that, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Algerians) in France in the 1990s. Whether the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ remix does it justice is debatable, turning it into ▓▌
▓████▓▌ something lightweight and disposable instead of the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ iconic music status it has attained. Curiously, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Ba∩da (Oriental Version)" works the other way ▓▌
▓████▓▌ around, the orchestra adding weight and gravity, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and lessening the obvious pop element, recasting it ▓▌
▓████▓▌ as classic Arab pop in great fashion. Ultimately, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ this is a daring debut, and even if Faudel doesn't ▓▌
▓████▓▌ emerge as fully formed yet, you know it's just a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ matter of time before he becomes the major talent ▓▌
▓████▓▌ this promises. ù Chris Nickson ▓▌
