Sweet and melodious, Janysett McPherson is an outstanding chanteuse equally comfortable singing in French, “Belle Ile en Mer”, “Jamais Dormir”, “J’ai vu” or Spanish, “Busca tu fe”, Tres Almas”. McPherson voice captives the listener from the first song “Belle Ile in Mer”. Her soulful style shines especially on the pop ballad “Poque tu existes”, the jazz ballad “Alby”, the bolero “Calla” and the bossa “Jamais Dormir”.
Andy Narell brings some Caribbean flavor playing the steel drums on the album title track Tres Almas. One of the jazzier tracks on the album is the composition “La Stella”, where McPherson demonstrates she is just as good as a pianist, playing lyrical lines with brilliance and intensity. Besides Andy Narell, other special guests on Tres Almas are Didier Lockwood, Yannick Socca and Sylvian Gontard.
Tracks: Belle Ile en Mer, Porque tu existes, Busca tu fe, Alby, Tres Almas, Jamais Dormir, Calla, La Stella, Dices, J’ai vu
