"DROIT AU COEUR"
Tuxedo Music
From the first moment we listen to this album, it is obvious that Michel Huygen has loaded a great amount of feelings in the creation of this CD, which reviews the essence of the most "cyber-romantic" side of his artistic trajectory. "Droit au coeur" ("Direct to the heart") also counts with an interesting incursion of Huygen's into the sung romantic ballad, under the form of a collaboration with the composer and singer Pascal Languirand, an imaginative renovator of electronic music that became famous specially thanks to his theme "Living on Video" (Trans-X). "Sólo pensando en tí", which is the title of this track, combines Languirand's vocals modelled in his peculiar style between the ethereal and the Gregorian, with music composed by Huygen. The result shows that both artists know very well how to combine their respective potentials to create themes of a high quality at the same time being easy to listen to, which can reach a very wide audience. In the same manner as the cybernetic hand on the cover seems to have a life and warmth of its own, the collection of compositions in the album has a certain unearthly nature, yet at the same time it turns out to be so near to what is human as our own emotions are, as if the message of the CD were the fact that our feelings are capable of being projected beyond our condition of mortal subjects bound to the biological hardships of corporeal life.
