By many measures, Jack Jones was the most popular crooner to emerge between the heyday of Elvis Presley and the rise of the Beatles. In the span of two years, he snagged two Grammys for Pop Male Performance – "Lollipops and Roses" in 1962 and "Wives and Loves" in 1964 – which was enough to lay a foundation for a career that lasted well into the 21st century.

A delicate debut album of introspective piano and electronica by a young French pianist, who felt confident enough to take the plunge with his own solo project, as a showcase for his compositional talents and refined touch, after several years in the bands of Sandra Nkaké and Henri Texier. 'A composition most often occurs in an unexpected manner. It lies dormant in me and emerges when the emotion is stronger than the decency that keeps it inside.
