Johanson, Jay-Jay - Backstage

Here, we find the fundamental elements of his musical universe: jazz, trip-hop, pop and even a touch of easy listening. The first single, the soaring ‘How Long Do You Think We're Gonna Last?’, imposes a delicious soul sound, somewhat unheard of in Jay-Jay's first 14 albums. On ‘Backstage’, for the first time in his discography, Jay-Jay sings a track entirely in French, dedicated to 'Rimbaud'. The lyrics are by French writer, Renaud Santa Maria. Finally, Jay-Jay delivers a personal version of ‘Lujon’, the cult song from the 100th birthday of its composer, Henry Mancini.
