Tiersen”s Le Phare features iconic collaborations, including Dominique A”s Monochrome, heralding his international breakthrough.

With Le Phare, Yann Tiersen reaches a pivotal moment in his career, creating an album that embodies his artistic maturity and sets the stage for international recognition. Across 13 tracks, Tiersen refines his signature blend of minimalist instrumentation and poignant melodies, now enriched by collaborations with notable voices. Claire Pichet returns for a soulful performance, while Dominique A lends his distinctive voice to two tracks, including the iconic Monochrome, a song that became emblematic of Tiersen”s work. Critics were unanimous in their praise: Télérama hailed him as ”one of the greatest artists of the year,” while Le Monde lauded his music as ”melodic, limpid, and cinematographic,” deeply rooted in authentic emotion. Free from fleeting trends, Le Phare stands as a testament to Tiersen”s unique vision and freedom of expression, cementing his status as a composer of profound emotional resonance.
