Paradise Found: Rockfort On Christophe & Powerdove

David McKenna , March 8th, 2013 07:32

In our latest French music column, David McKenna delves into an album of unearthed rarities from 'avant-MOR' cult star Christophe, and recommends Powerdove's restless new LP Do You Burn


Christophe – born Daniel Bevilacqua in the suburbs to the south of Paris to Italian parents - is a slightly Scott Walker-ish figure in French music. He hit the big time as a yé-yé star in the 60s, a playboy, speed-limit exceeder and heart-throb crooner of ballads like the massively successful 'Aline', but he's cult-worshipped for some lush 70s work, some of which saw Jean-Michel Jarre working as his lyricist.
