After debuting at No. 1 last week, ENRICO MACIAS’s album L’ Oriental falls to No. 2 with 386,000, a sales slide of 88%. I am not a real Folk music type of person, but i have to admit ‘L’ Oriental’ really is amazing. Self-described as Folk with lots of words, ENRICO MACIAS comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. This is my first ENRICO MACIAS Album and i must say i am blown away.
Enfants De Tous Pays is perfect. Oh Guitare - Check out that bassline! This track is clearly meant to showcase ENRICO MACIAS’s vocal abilities. Mon ami, mon frere motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. I listened to the opening track La Femme De Mon Ami and liked it a lot. Best song on the album, love it. Voice and instruments in L’ile du Rhone complement each other. El Porompompero is a romantic if not formulaic ditty. Ouvre Ta Main Et Donne - A nice song. Paris, Tu M’as Pris Dans Tes Bras is the funkiest number on the album. Ma Patrie is, without a doubt, my favorite song, ever. Don’t judge Les Filles De Mon Pays on the first listening. J’appelle Le Soleil is beautiful, yet underrated track. This song is dynamic and dramatic. Put Chanter into car stereo for your highway driving Solenzara - I just love it. I now have La Lavande as one of my personal favorites. Non, Je N’ai Rien Oublie without a doubt is the standout song of L’ Oriental. Opening track Les Millionnaires Du Dimanche shows the best of ENRICO MACIAS. One listen to the sheer beauty of Les gens du nord was all I needed. Voice of ENRICO MACIAS in Constantine is honest and guitar work is subtle and poignant. Des Que Je Me Reveille (2:56) - awsome. Au Talon De Ses Souliers is a bit of a show-tune.
