Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released shortly after his dramatic retirement from live performance, this deeply profound studio effort finds the iconic Belgian singer contemplating mortality and the passage of time. Accompanied by the rich, cinematic orchestrations of Fran莽ois Rauber, his vocal delivery remains incredibly powerful and emotive, notably on poignant classics like 'Vesoul'.
