Gilbert Bécaud - Kyrie Les Croix

Review by Daniel Adams

Kyrie Les Croix is an album by French singer and songwriter Gilbert Bécaud. Released in 1964, the album consists of 12 tracks, all of which are in French. The album showcases Bécaud's signature style of chanson, a type of French song that often features poetic lyrics and melodic tunes.

The album opens with the title track, "Kyrie Les Croix," which is a hauntingly beautiful song that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Bécaud's powerful vocals are complemented by the orchestral arrangement, which gives the song a grand, cinematic feel.

Other standout tracks on the album include "L'Important C'est La Rose," a romantic ballad that showcases Bécaud's ability to convey emotion through his singing, and "Le Jour Où La Pluie Viendra," a melancholic song about lost love.

Summary by Daniel Adams

Kyrie Les Croix is a must-listen for fans of French chanson and Gilbert Bécaud. The album is a testament to Bécaud's talent as a singer and songwriter, and it remains a timeless classic to this day.
