Temperance (Dominique Dalcan) Temperance Volume 2

Last February, we had the delightful surprise to see Dominique Dalcan on the Victoires de la Musique stage (main French musical award). The elegant singer received the award for the best electronic album for his project Temperance, an album in English full of reliefs, dense and splendid. We are delighted to see today that Dominique publishes a second volume of Temperance. The first albums of Dominique Dalcan came out in the early 90's, especially on the Belgian label Crammed Discs. He is considered one of the ambassadors of the new French pop, combining electronic and orchestral arrangements. At the same time, under the name of Snooze, he immerses himself in electronic music and creates soundtracks for cinema and contemporary art. In 2013, he switched to the English language and adopted a new artistic identity: Temperance.

The project moves away freely from the format of the song to dive into a vast electronic palette. In Temperance 2, we hear contemporary R & B ballads full of artificial strings, collisions of textures, even Balinese sounds but nothing that never steals the show with Dominique's voice and lyrics. The Temperance repertoire addresses the confusion of the human world and a wild nature. There is also a question of fusional love with pop and soul songs. This gives an album that rushes against each other joy, fury, despair, desire or pleasure, without them ever contradicting each other, and that moderates with art and temperance, in short.
