A melancholic ballad that’s still got an air of positivity floating within it, ‘Reviens Mon Coeur’ is the kind of track that leaves you hopelessly wistful. It’s sung with a mellowing passion, never ascending to immense highs and always treading perfectly on the tightrope that exudes excellence. The acoustic guitar, that sounds straight out of a live bar, gives the tune a jingle effect that makes you want to move around as Marie sings with a sensuality and suave that’s keenly her own. The song is a bewitching and passionate tune that that tells the tale of a past passion.
Its not often you come across a love song completely sung in a language beyond your comprehension that still manages to grab your emotions. ‘Reviens Mon Coeur’ is a beautiful piece of French pop, one that’s breathed into such vivid life courtesy of Marie Minet’s unmistakably understated vocal performance and a simultaneously optimistic and melancholic acoustic rhythm.
If you happen to be in France, Minet’s album Clair-Obscur will be presented for the first time in concert in Paris on the 22nd at le Theatre du Ranelagh. Don’t miss out!
