In France in the early '90s, Dominique A. (born Dominique
AnΘ in 1968) showed the way for those artists who wished
to stick to singing in their birth language without
necessarily putting aside their overseas pop influences,
and thereby their poppiest edge. He more than often
performed alone on-stage, jangling with synths, guitars,
and microphones in a minimalist style that made him
famous, relying partly on his high-pitched emphatic
old-fashioned voice. His first hit, "Le Courage des
Oiseaux," from 1992's La Fossette, inspired a whole
generation of growing artists and quickly gained cult
status. Even after he added more instrumentation and
sophistication to his works, and up to 1995's La MΘmoire
Neuve and its single "Le Twenty Two Bar," he kept
following the same path of stripped-down-to-the-core
songwriting. It was only when he discovered Alain
Bashung's L'Imprudence album that he decided to add even
more sophistication, thereby closing the first chapter of
his career and entering new stages of musical and lyrical
creation. Though some surprised critics weren't
necessarily following Dominique A. in his more and more
challenging new formula, he kept on insisting on it,
adding more and more literature influences and musical
subtlety to his material. 2006's L'Horizon was quite
warmly received as the then-climax of this new era, both
by music critics and his fan base. In 2007, he released a
first live CD album, Sur Nos Forces Motrices.
