Lara Fabian - Le Secret (2013) Hi-Res

For the third time in her career, Lara Fabian has the highest selling CD in France. A musical tour de force, Le Secret is presented as a series of short stories. Together the stories represent a (part autobiographical) journey that moves from tragedy to acceptance and resilience; that reveals the artist unvarnished, modest, laid bare. The lyrics and the music explore and expose the malaise of incest, eating disorders, and human fallibility in an array of forms... and a gritty quality that Lara intentionally adds to her voice on occasion also helps to build this organic sound.
The album represents a return to what she does best. Le Secret is original; it draws influence from other cultures and styles of music in an attempt to reach a new audience, something she has done repeatedly and with more success than arguably anyone else in the world. But it is also written for us. She understands that her vulnerability is what creates that unique bond with her fans.
Lara Fabian pours so much emotion in to much of what she does that often you don't need to understand the words to enjoy her music. This album is different. If you don't speak French it is important to download the translations. You can't fully appreciate this music without understanding the words. Lara is a true artist and a poet. Absolutely sublime.
