about

Une voix et un piano, c’est tout ce qu’il faut au duo français minimaliste Madeleine & Salomon pour revisiter le morceau hypnotique et entêtant : MA FATSH LEAH, single de leur deuxième album Eastern Spring, relecture du répertoire pop-folk méditerranéen des années 60/70. La voix mélancolique de Clotilde raconte une jeune femme torturée par l'attente interminable de son amant dans le Caire émancipé des années 70. Le piano entêtant d'Alexandre Saada dessine l’agitation d’une ville en ébullition qui nourrit la douce folie de son espérance et la nôtre avec. Arrivé.e.s à destination de ce voyage intérieur, on n’a plus qu’une idée en tête : repartir.

_________

One voice, one piano is all that minimalist French outfit Madeleine & Salomon need to create their hypnotic version of MA FATSH LEAH, the single from their second album, Eastern Spring, which covers a choice selection from the repertoire of ‘60s/’70s Mediterranean folk-pop. Clotilde’s melancholic voice tells of a young woman tortured by the interminable wait for her lover in the emancipated Cairo of the 1970s, while the bewitching piano of Alexandre Saada conjures the buzz of a restless city that feeds the sweet madness of her hope, and ours with it. As soon as we have reached the end of this interior journey, we have but one desire: to start all over again.

lyrics

He didn’t pass, what happened to him?
I’ve been waiting since this mornin’
What’s wrong with me?

Was it a puncture, or a traffic jam?
We were supposed to meet at five.
He said to me?

Two cars keep circling around me
People are staring with bulging eyes
What can I do?

It's just past five, what can I say
When raging crowds stand between us?
What can I do ?


He didn’t pass, what happened to him?
I’ve been waiting since this mornin’
What’s wrong with me?

Was it a puncture, or a traffic jam?
We were supposed to meet at five.
He said to me?

Two cars keep circling (Sir) around me (me)
People are staring (stare) with bulging eyes (eyes)
What can I do? (do)

It's just past five (five), what can I say (say)
When raging crowds (crowds) stand between us?
What can I do ? (do)

Two cars keep circling (Sir) around me (me)
People are staring (stare) with bulging eyes (eyes)
What can I do? (do)

It's just past five (five), what can I say (say)
When raging crowds (crowd) stand between us (us)?
What can I do ? (do)

(Sir, me, stare, do, five, say, crowds, us, do)
(Sir, me, stare, do, five, say, crowds, us, do)
(Sir, me, stare, do, five, say, crowds, us, do)
(Sir, me, stare, do, five, say, crowds, us, do)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Madeleine & Salomon Paris, France

Following their first opus ’A Woman's Journey’ (2016), a homage to militant American songstresses, ‘Eastern Spring’ sees them tackle the repertoire of ‘60s/’70s Mediterranean folk-pop. Clotilde (vocals/flute) and Alexandre (piano) take us to Beirut, Tel Aviv and Cairo, performing songs that reflect these artists’ emancipated societies through folk and psychedelic rock, popular in Western music ... more
