Bertrand Belin belongs to a lineage of stylists who divert the exhausted old rivers to sculpt water games in sophisticated gardens. He knows all there is to know about chanson, pop, and rock, and composes in a unique language where one can glimpse the art of Claude Debussy as much as Dominique A, Alain Bashung as much as Bob Dylan, country music as much as Elvis Costello…
Romantic, poetic, and filled with tenderness embraced by a clear and precise voice, his songs leave the impression of an intelligent simplicity. There is no façade with Bertrand Belin, neither in his demeanor nor in his words.
With “Hypernuit,” his third solo album, Bertrand Belin continues to trace his path between lyricism and austerity. Once again, he has found the clearest balance of melody and poetry, the unique alchemy of music that is both lush and stripped down.
