I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Man On A Mission, by Manu Lanvin and it's cool and gritty. Opening with blues rocker, Just Need Me, Manu Lanvin on vocal and guitar belts out a loosely assembled blues with real grit. With a modified Latin beat, complimented by Raphael Chassin on drums and percussion, Nicolas Bonniere on Moog bass, and Axel Bauer on guitar I really like this opener. Change My Ways is a soulful ballad with strong vocals by Lanvin, paced by Bennett Holland, bass by Laurent Vernerey and Karim Bouazza on drums and the warm horn work of Malcom Strachan and Athol Ransome. Very nice. Savigny-Sur-Orge is a solid radio track with a memorable melody, with lead vocal and guitar by Lanvin, with Chassin on drums, Vernerey on bass, Holland on keys, and Bonniere on Melotron. Saving Angel is a tight rocker with a Keith Richards guitar edge. Lanvin on vocal backed by Julie Layse, BJ Scott, Chantel and Steve Kashala one of my favorites on the release. Pop rocker, Make It Right has a snappy beat with Lanvin on vocal and drums and flashing some real cool rocking riffs on guitar. Ahmed Mouici on backing vocals, Holland on piano, Bellanger on bass and Bonniere on drums, and super break in the set. Wrapping the release is Une Nuit sung in French. A smooth ballad, featuring Lanvin on vocal and featuring Bako Mikaelian on harmonica and Holland on piano is a solid closer.
