Script error: No such module "Unsubst-infobox".Script error: No such module "Check for conflicting parameters". L'amour en vol (English: The Love in Flight) is the third studio album by French R&B/pop singer-songwriter Leslie Bourgoin, released on 20 November 2006 through EMC Records and Sony BMG. The album contains the singles, "L'envers de la terre", "Sobri 2", and "Accorde-moi" featuring Bobby Valentino. "L'amour en vol" debuted at number 50 on the French Albums Chart (SNEP).[1] The album spent only 9 weeks on the chart, placing its last position at number 200. The album differs in terms of sound, with more electro-pop-induced beats rather than her previous R&B efforts, Je suis et je resterai and Mes couleurs.
Background and composition
After the success of her second studio album, "Mes couleurs" (2004), Bourgoin decided to approach a different sound, after already establishing herself as an R&B star with her debut studio album, "Je suis et je resterai" (2002), and experimenting in raï music, mixing it with R&B, as seen with Mes couleurs. With re-occurring producers Kore & Skalp, this album contains a more "futuristic" sound, with electro-pop elements and using hints of R&B throughout the instrumentals of the album. Recording sessions took place in various studios, such as Matrix Studio (located in Londres), Studio EMC Records, and Studio Master.[2][3]
Critical reception
Although at the time of its release, no professional reviews were written, a professional review from Rate Your Music (RYM) classifies the album as a positive review. The review writes,
"Leslie's "L'amour en Vol" is very good, but suffers somewhat from overproduction. Whether it's excessive vocal overdubs ("Je le ferai pour toi"), stacked electronic effects ("L'envers de la terre", "Capitals riches", "S'echapper") or an intro of cascading disco strings ("Un pas vers l'amour"), it is difficult to tell if it's a masterpiece or if it's suffering from too much going on..."L'amour en vol" is a mixed bag that goes a little over the top and lacks the R&B ballads her previous albums featured."[4]
