Descriptions du produit

From Amazon.co.uk

The manner in which a superstar responds to a setback says a great deal about the artist. Some choose to conclude that the world is simply off its orbit and they're the only ones who've noticed. Others cower in semi-retirement and never again climb to great heights. And another bunch go back to what brung 'em, which is the route Paul Simon has opted to take with his first outing since his misbegotten Broadway debut, Capeman. The title says it all. You're The One is as understated as they come; this time out, Simon is a singer-songwriter, not a composer. As such, You're The One is more reminiscent of initial insular post-Simon & Garfunkel albums like There Goes Rhymin' Simon and Still Crazy After All These Years than the expansive Graceland. With no new lands to conquer, Simon has fashioned a collection whose appeal lies with its 11 crafty, catchy tunes, all of which are delivered with spirit and wit, particularly on the character-driven likes of "Pigs, Sheep and Wolves", "Darling Lorraine", and "Old". The lesson is that you don't need to make a Broadway production of life's little joys and heartaches; they fit quite nicely into a four-minute song. --Steven Stolder


Chronique amazon.fr

Après l'Afrique du Sud (Graceland), le Brésil (Rhythm Of The Saints) et Puerto Rico (The Capeman), Paul Simon revient à la chanson traditionnelle américaine. C'est d'ici que je viens, chante-t-il dans la première chanson "That's Where I Belong". Plus loin, dans "Old" il se rappelle Buddy Holly et les Stones. Il rentre néanmoins transformé de ses explorations des musiques du monde, il en a gardé un swing aérien et sensuel qui évoque la côte Ouest de l'Afrique ("Look At That") et une gravité digne des plus belles ballades irlandaises ("Quiet"). Ce disque rappelle ses grands disques en solo comme Still Crazy After All These Years, les thèmes les plus variés y sont abordés avec une intelligence et une sensibilité exemplaires, comme le prouve "Sweet Lorraine" qui raconte un amour conjugal de la première rencontre à la mort et "Pigs, Sheep And Wolves", une charge satirique et bienvenue contre la peine capitale. --Hubert Deshouse

3.0étoiles sur 5 Not the special one, Jui 8 2004
Par Tim Brough "author and music buff" (Springfield, PA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I guess anything that sounded like a reasonable facsimile of Paul Simon would get raves after the disaster of "Capeman." But after repeated listening, nothing here really sticks around. Only two songs are at all memorable -- in that I can recall any of the sounds or words -- and they are "Darling Lorraine" and the title track. The rest of "You're The One" sounds like a computer programmed to make a "Paul Simon" CD, but doesn't quite match up.

Novelty songs like "Old" and "Pigs Sheep and Wolves" are beyond slight. "Hurricane Eye" at least has an interesting arrangement, and the album's closer, "Quiet" does leave me wondering what Simon's rumored collaborations with Brian Eno will sound like. But "You're The One" is just lackluster. I'll not count Paul Simon out of the game; as his recent tour with Art Garfunkle has shown, he is still a great performer, and a great many people had written him off prior to "Graceland." Here's hoping the "Old Friends" tour gave his muse a jolt.

5.0étoiles sur 5 For Quality, This Is the One, Mai 22 2004
Par David Anderson (St. Cloud, MN) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
The time that legendary artist Paul Simon released "You're the One", the world hadn't heard any new material from him in ten years, his previous album "Rhythm of the Saints". In 2000, he made a triumphant return with this wonderful, soulful album. The great quality featured proves that it was worth the wait. He went on to receive a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year. Every track proves that since his debut with Simon & Garfunkel in 1964, he has never lost his touch with music. Since going solo in 1970, he has continued to inspire many musicians after him (Jewel, india.arie, Tracy Chapman). "You're the One" continues that inspiration run.

Paul Simon trades the African/ Brazilian-style music featured on his previous two albums (1986's "Graceland" and 1990's "Rhythm of the Saints") for a more mellow sound that combines folk and pop. He wrote and produced every track soulfully, which offers audiences great relaxation music. These tracks contain more vocal and guitar emphasis than his classics. He keeps the melodies simple and catchy. He expresses every word wonderfully, offering more emotion to his poetic lyrics. They beautifully reflect his life and turbulances from childhood to today. Such musical talents featured on "You're the One" offer a wonderful and unforgettable musical journey. This is sure to please many listeners for a long time.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Sound Becomes a Song, Mai 19 2004
Par Jakob Pedersen (Odense, Denmark) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I love all Paul Simon albums but this one is truly one of the best! The music is mostly based on percussion and it sounds amazing, and the lyrics by Mr. Simon is pure brilliance.
I love the opening lines in "You're the One":
May Twelve angels guard you while you sleep
Maybe that's a waste of angels, I don't know

This is great work!
Just give it time and it will grow on you.
You won't be sorry.
