French singer/songwriter Hubert-FΘlix ThiΘfaine is an
artist whose work one may find very difficult to file in
any genre. Influenced by Bob Dylan and Lou Reed as well as
LΘo FerrΘ, Jacques Brel, and French writers, his music
first took shape as a form of folk-rock, turning darker
and more synthetic in the '80s and constantly evolving
with time into a quite personal style of pop featuring
poetic, daring, and sometimes difficult lyrics. Never
submitting to musical fashion or ideology, ThiΘfaine's
work might be considered just as original as that of
Jacques Higelin or GΘrard Manset, expressing a conflicted
and sometimes odd personality. Although ThiΘfaine has
opted out of the mass-media music business since the
beginning of his career in 1978, he has managed to attract
a large and faithful audience, selling more records and
concert tickets than one might imagine given the level of
his exposure, and gaining cult status along the way.
Hubert-FΘlix ThiΘfaine was born in Dole, Jura, in 1948.
Having had a quite unhappy childhood, he quickly
encountered issues at school. Developing a great deal of
imagination at that time and already with a rebellious
streak, he started writing songs with a couple of friends
at the early age of 12. He later managed to make it
through university, where a friendly collaboration with
the folk-influenced Tony Carbonare began.
In 1976, he was signed to record his first LP, Tout Corps
Vivant BranchΘ Sur le Secteur ╔tant AppelΘ α
S'╔mouvoir...; released in 1978 and selling few copies,
the album nevertheless included his first semi-hit, "La
Fille du Coupeur de Joint" (which was to become a cult
classic). The ThiΘfaine-Carbonare collaboration continued
with the release of two further studio records, 1979's
Autorisation de DΘlirer and 1980's De l'Amour, de l'Art et
du Cochon. His 1981 record, Dernieres Balises: Avant
Mutation, made with the help of longtime friend Claude
Mairet, exposed ThiΘfaine's darker side, while his live
sets were increasingly warmly welcomed by his growing
audience.
The ThiΘfaine-Mairet collaboration continued with 1982's
Soleil Cherche Futur, an album that gained ThiΘfaine his
second gold record after Dernieres Balises: Avant
Mutation, along with some radio airplay. From 1984 to
1995, ThiΘfaine alternated studio recordings
(Alambic/Sortie-Sud, MΘtΘo Fⁿr Nada, Eros ▄ber Alles,
Chroniques Bluesymentales, Fragments d'HΘbΘtude) with
tours and numerous live albums (1986, 1988, 1995), then
sticking to his newfound style, more devoted to synth pop
and rock.
In 1996 and 1998, he released two new sets of material
like two parts of a diptych, La Tentation du Bonheur and
Le Bonheur de la Tentation. After 2001's Defloration 13,
2005's Scandale MΘlancolique saw ThiΘfaine collaborate
with famous young artists like Cali and J.P. Nataf,
stepping out somewhat uncharacteristically with his most
visible comeback to date. In 2007, a Scandale MΘlancolique
tour DVD was released.
