‘J’aimerais’ by Dean Grant holds a wonderful charming
presence. The gorgeous notes from the jazz orchestra flutter in
the air. The lively rhythm takes your hand, twirling you around
the room in a joyous dance. A suave serenade is delivered in
the beautiful French dialect, a voice reflecting the spontaneous
moment of gusto. T’es là dans le noir. You’re here in the dark.
The flirtatious theme of the lyrics speak of desires and
increasing romantic curiosity. Pris au dépourvu. Caught off
guard.
Producer and recording artist Dean Grant debuts with a strong,
vintage orientated, pop album, produced for the international
music scene. For this album, The French Recording
Sessions, Dean Grant surrounded himself with leading people
from within the French music industry, ensuring an authentic
approach and convincing final sound.
For more than two years in the making, the album has been
intentionally set up musically in relationship to the 1950s by
using equipments and know-how from within that area. By
producing this album, Dean Grant succeeded in bringing his
musical jazz roots together with his French trail.
Dean Grant bases his music – and the accompanying design –
on the 1950s. ‘Although every time sheet knows its pros and
cons, we currently seem to be temporarily living in a period
where little is looked at each other and in which little use is
made of decency standards and etiquettes. This is unfortunate,
because certainly the absence of the latter, creates a life
comparable to a life without music and art. Just by looking at
Cary or Sean, makes you wonder what went wrong in the years
after’, he says, continuing, ‘operating in a stylish fifties
entourage makes everyday life bearable and most importantly
joyful.’
