Just got this CD today: Putumayo Presents - French Cafe. As someone who knows nothing about French cafe music (is that even a genre?), I absolutely love this album.
The album on the whole has a careful little bounce to it that’s inherent in much of French contemporary music. It forces the listener to tap their feet, but not quite hard enough to force any dancing. It’s this careful line that the music walks throughout the album. Vocals are expressive, but not so much that they scream emotion. It’s all implied, but rarely given explicitly, and the music echoes this concept.
