Nothing special

"If you are not a fan from Charlelie Couture who wants to collect all of his recordings, you could skip this one. (At least in my opinion).It's a nice album, no bad songs, but the peaks are missing as well. It's pure pop music which you can hear from a lot of other bands and except for the lyrics, the is no special "french" in this recording.I love the music of Charlelie Couture because it is a very individual mixture of pop, rock with some slight influences of french chanson, blues and jazz elements. But it is my feeling that everything that makes his music special, different from other music is missing in this recording.You find all of the songs on this recording also on the live album 3 Folies live (where he just performs his two albums Solo Boys and Solo Girls live on stage). This live album is worth a listen, but the most beautiful or interesting songs on this album come from the album Solo Girls and not from Solo Boys."
