Avis\u00a0:<\/b><\/p>\n

Macy Gray<\/b> est une chanteuse qui en train peu de temps s\u2019est fait conna\u00eetre du grand public. Gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 une voix particuli\u00e8re, \u00e9raill\u00e9e et parfois aigue, elle a su proposer une soul chaude et classique, qui a plu tr\u00e8s rapidement \u00e0 un public demandeur. R\u00e9compens\u00e9e au Grammy Awards et ayant r\u00e9alis\u00e9 d\u00e9j\u00e0 cinq disques en moins de dix ans, la chanteuse est revenue sur le devant de la sc\u00e8ne en 2012 avec Covered<\/b>, un album compos\u00e9 exclusivement de reprises. Mais voulant faire une pause entre deux autres disques en pr\u00e9paration, la chanteuse a voulu rendre un hommage fracassant \u00e0 l\u2019un des plus grands chanteurs de soul du monde, Stevie Wonder<\/b>. Talking Book<\/b> est LE disque de Stevie Wonder<\/b>, celui qui lui a fait conna\u00eetre la gloire, gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 des titres comme You are the<\/i> Sunshine of my Life<\/i> ou encore Superstition<\/i>. Mais le pari de Macy Gray <\/b>n\u2019est-il pas trop os\u00e9\u00a0? A vouloir se frotter au ma\u00eetre, on risque toujours de se br\u00fbler les ailes et de se faire pers\u00e9cuter par la presse. Alors quel est le verdict\u00a0? Remontons en 1972, le temps d\u2019un album de 40 minutes, o\u00f9 la soul \u00e9tait alors prosp\u00e8re.<\/p>\n

L\u2019album commence assez mal. D\u00e9butant d\u2019entr\u00e9e de jeu avec You are the Sunshine of my Life<\/i>, le risque devient tr\u00e8s gros. Commen\u00e7ant comme un morceau ilien, la piste demeure inint\u00e9ressante et on s\u2019ennuie ferme, n\u2019apportant ni chaleur ni \u00e9motion. Par contre, il faudra attendre la deuxi\u00e8me piste pour avoir quelque chose de bien plus sympathique, avec une instrumentalisation bien plus agr\u00e9able et bien plus rock. Ainsi, Maybe Baby<\/i> devient un titre entrainant et assez fort. Le reste de l\u2019album est \u00e0 l\u2019image de ces deux titres, c\u2019est-\u00e0-dire assez vari\u00e9 et relativement int\u00e9ressant. L\u2019arrangement de Hal Wilner<\/b>, metteur en son de Lou Reed entre autre, propose des versions calmes, d\u2019autres versions jazz et encore d\u2019autres morceaux tirant vers le gospel. On retrouvera des instruments \u00e0 vent et une ambiance chaude et festive sur le morceau Tuesday Heartbreak<\/i>, tr\u00e8s dansant et rappelant le bon son des ann\u00e9es 70 et de la motown. Bien \u00e9videmment, on n\u2019\u00e9chappera pas \u00e0 la pi\u00e8ce ma\u00eetresse, Superstition, qui d\u00e9marre sur un air jazzy, avec une batterie aux balais et un clavier tr\u00e8s doux et calme. On ressent avec cette version tr\u00e8s calme, une nouvelle dimension au morceau de Stevie Wonder<\/b> et ce n\u2019est pas plus mal, Macy Gray<\/b> proposant donc quelque chose de nouveau et non une simple reprise fade. On pourra aussi s\u2019\u00e9mouvoir sur des titres comme Blame it on the Sun<\/i>, d\u2019une douceur incroyable et port\u00e9 par la voix incroyable de Macy Gray<\/b>. L\u2019album se termine par un morceau allant chercher vers le gospel mais aussi vers l\u2019onirisme et les morceaux un peu plus planant, donnant encore une fois une version in\u00e9dite du morceau du ma\u00eetre de la soul.<\/p>\n

\"Macy-Gray\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mais bien \u00e9videmment, ce qui va rester dans nos t\u00eates, c\u2019est bien entendu la voix de Macy Gray<\/b>, celle-l\u00e0 m\u00eame qui lui a assur\u00e9 un succ\u00e8s imm\u00e9diat aupr\u00e8s des critiques et du public. Il faut dire qu\u2019elle poss\u00e8de un timbre tr\u00e8s particulier. Sa voix \u00e9raill\u00e9e correspond parfaitement au genre soul et donc \u00e0 cet album de reprises de Stevie Wonder<\/b>. On pourra admirer sa chaleur et sa tendresse avec ce petit susurrement cass\u00e9 sur par exemple Blame it on the Sun<\/i>. Mais elle fait montre d\u2019\u00e9nergie sur d\u2019autres morceaux comme Maybe Your Baby<\/i>, o\u00f9 l\u2019on pourra d\u00e9couvrir que sa voix se pr\u00eate assez justement \u00e0 un autre genre qu\u2019est le rock. Capable de mettre quelques \u00e9motions dans son timbre, comme l\u2019en atteste I Believe (When I fall in Love it Will be Forever)<\/i> qui cl\u00f4ture de belle fa\u00e7on cet album, Macy Gray propose un album sympathique o\u00f9 elle expose tout ce qu\u2019elle sait faire avec son organe.<\/p>\n

Au final, Talking Book<\/b>, le dernier album de Macy Gray<\/b>, qui correspond en fait \u00e0 l\u2019album mythique de Stevie Wonder<\/b> paru en 1972, est un album agr\u00e9able et sympathique, qui montre tout le talent de la chanteuse. Malheureusement, et comme tout travail de reprise, l\u2019album souffre de la comparaison avec son a\u00een\u00e9 et il ne le d\u00e9tr\u00f4nera pas. N\u00e9anmoins, il repr\u00e9sente une bonne alternative \u00e0 l\u2019album du ma\u00eetre et n\u2019est pas une simple copie d\u00e9gueulasse.<\/p>\n
