François Staal releases Bréhat, a new single and clip that pays tribute to his favorite island of Brittany, symbol of pure and total beauty in his eyes. The title is taken from the album L'humaine Beauté, released a few months ago. The waves of Bréhat, the tides and the silence, the powerful or gentle winds inspired François Staal this sublime piece to finally discover on video. On this occasion, François Staal will be in concert on 16/11/2022, at the Café de la Danse in Paris for a concert to release the album L'humaine Beauté, accompanied by Emma Sand and Vincent Bricks. François Staal dedicated his latest album to beauty, and its representations. Accompanied on stage by chiaroscuro, contrasting, captivating and poetic lights, François builds his concerts as a singular musical journey to take the audience into this alternation of emotions and power, sometimes slipping beyond the usual references. In his new album L'humaine Beauté, a dozen unpublished texts, including one by his friend Pierre-Yves Lebert, are combined with the revival of two monuments of French song, La nuit je mens (Bashung) and Avec le temps (Ferré)… and a poem by Baudelaire. 
François Staal, singer-songwriter in the vein of text rockers, cultivates a universe of rock song, French, poetic, off the beaten track and in touch with the contemporary, a universe close to that of Nick Cave, Bashung, Manset with reminiscences of Pink Floyd or Dominique A. L'humaine beauté is his 7th album, released in December 2021, the culmination of an evolution that began ten years ago, it crowns a research on sounds and the French language. In parallel, he is also a composer of film music (for more than 60 films and 120 episodes of series). For François Staal, the quest for beauty is to write texts, where truth, reality, are observed, reconstructed, distorted, transposed to exchange, share, touch the soul and the spirit. François Staal will be in concert on November 16, 2022 at the Café de la Danse with Emma Sand and Vincent Bricks. Book here.
