Thierry Amiel - Paradoxes (2003)

Thierry's first album is wonderful! I live in France now and Thierry is without a doubt one of the greatest new French voices. He was discovered on "A la Recherche de la Nouvelle Star" and was the runner up. In my eyes and the eyes of many others he still won. He has become just as successful, if not even more so, than the actual winner. The album has Thierry's version of some of the most popular French songs in history...like "Avec le Temps", "Je Suis Malade", "L'Aigle Noir" etc. It moves me every time I listen to these! His newest single from the album "Je Regarde La-Haut" is really good too as well as "Les Mots Bleus" ...actually, I like just about every song on the album to be perfectly honest. Even if you don't understand French, it's a great album to have. (You can always have someone translate the songs or research it alone if you want the direct meanings.) It really is worth it. He trasmits so much emotion through his voice, I'm sure you'll understand the main idea anyway! I highly recommend this album!
