Lily Passion was a legendary record. The recovered tapes allow Universal to release an unreleased studio album of Barbara on 06/10.
Barbara in the spotlight with this splendid record reappears thirty years later and which has long maintained the legend.
On October 6, a real UFO is released in stores: Barbara's studio album Lily Passion, unearthed, reconstituted and remastered. A mind-blowing story. We were not even sure of its existence, the studio album of Lily Passion, the show that Barbara had put on with Depardieu, whose orchestrations were signed William Sheller, and which had never been released at the time is well and truly found. Loose and spelled, the tapes eventually reappeared from Universal's vaults. To date, the only trace that remains of Lily Passion is a double live, with much more stripped down versions. We will discover eleven fabulously unreleased tracks and first extract the piano title, Bizarre.
Here is Bizarre, Barbara's new unreleased track to listen on Youtube in audio:
For a long time the singer Barbara dreamed of an extraordinary show of theater, musical comedy and circus, with which she could deliver to the public even more of herself. Lily Passion with Gérard Depardieu as partner was a great stage adventure, but what about the music recorded in the studio with William Sheller arranging and Luc Plamondon writing? We also know that Lily Passion marked the break with Roland Romanelli, her accompanist since 1967. After several years of research and work, Lily Passion's studio tapes have been found and restored. No trace of Depardieu on the eleven tracks but Barbara's voice shines, purer than ever.
