Lio

***LIO’s fifth album, originally released in 1988, now remastered and reissued with four bonus tracks by Ze. The incredible success of Pop Model and its four amazing singles repositioned Lio as one of the most important French pop singers of her time, and Can Can is its worthy successor. With the aid of JACQUES DUVALL, GUILLAUME ISRAEL, VINCENT PALMER, and YANN LEKER, Can Can set out to remold Lio in image and song. At the beginning, the concept behind this album was to be a tribute to the typically French state of mind symbolized by the famous can-can style. This revolutionary, original, cheerful and politically-incorrect state of mind seemed to be the perfect lineage and the natural evolution of Lio's image initiated with Pop Model. Anthemic rock, bubbling synth pop, burlesque-tinged siren songs and morose ballads all get tapped here.
