It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Richard Clayderman energies, virtually a rebirth. Since completing 0’s ‘Il Ya Toujours Du Soleil Au Dessus Des Nuages’, Richard Clayderman fulfilled their contract with Blue Note Records and where under no obligation to release another album. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Richard Clayderman on ‘Il Ya Toujours Du Soleil Au Dessus Des Nuages’. This is my first Richard Clayderman Album and i must say i am blown away.
Le Bonheur D’Aimer - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of Richard Clayderman. The sound of Aliscia is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. Les Roses De L’Exil is, without a doubt, my favorite song, ever. A fantastic track full of wonder. This track is possibly the biggest guilty pleasure on Romantic Melodies. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. La Force De L’Amour is an incredible song that has everything it needs to be another favorite track. Les Mers Mortes one is one of the better boring ones. Such hits like Fleurs De Feu will leave you hooked. Song Coeurs D’Or is actually a funny song. I find myself hearing bits of Les Oiseaux De La Mer Et Du Soleil here and there throughout my waking hours.
