Album Notes & Community Reviews
Adopting a noticeably stripped-down, acoustic-funk production style, the iconic provocateur recorded this intimate collection in London following a severe heart attack. Driven by deeply scatological wordplay and melancholic reflections on aging and romance, it features 'Je suis venu te dire que je m'en vais', one of his most beloved, tear-stained ballads.
