À l’origine

Benjamin Biolay

A dark, cinematic masterpiece of modern French chanson. Hushed, whispered vocals drift over sweeping orchestral strings, gritty guitars, and late-night urban melancholy.

March 25, 2005 · Virgin

A dark, cinematic melancholy that feels like walking through Paris under a cold midnight rain.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The ominous, slow-building tension of the title track which stretches over six minutes with sweeping cinematic strings and a heavy, industrial-tinged beat.
