Album Notes & Community Reviews
A late-career return to the chanson form, 'Clair-obscur' pairs Fran莽oise Hardy with duet partners Jacques Dutronc on 'Puisque vous partez en voyage', Iggy Pop on 'I'll Be Seeing You' and 脡tienne Daho. The arrangements favour chamber pop instrumentation and Hardy's subdued delivery, framing songs of departure and ageing in her most intimate register.
