Albums 2010 - Laurent
lundi 27 décembre 2010
600 albums, des poussières et des numéros
S’amuser à classer (presque) tout ce qu’on a écouté en une année, qui plus est en enfermant chaque artiste dans un tiroir trop définitif, peut sembler un exercice vain et prétentieux. Je l’envisage pour ma part comme un pense-bête, un travail d’archivage qui alimentera mes souvenirs et me rappellera où en était l’évolution musicale en 2010.
Cette évolution, je la vois quant à moi comme une mutation qui, paradoxalement, brouille plus que jamais les frontières des genres. Comment ranger en effet un album comme l’ovni Gonjasufi dans la simple catégorie ‘garage’ ? Considérer Janelle Monà¡e ou Plan B comme de nouveaux talents soul alors qu’ils en réforment les codes ? Circonscrire les petites révolutions fomentées à leur échelle par These New Puritans ou Flying Lotus ?
Oui mais voilà : comment, autrement, crier la beauté contenue dans les disques de Boy & the Echo Choir, de Fursaxa, de Perfume Genius ? Comment, autrement, se souvenir de l’étape marquante qu’aura constituée 2010 dans le parcours de Sufjan Stevens et Kanye West, avant un futur incertain fait de consécration ou de déclin ?
En structurant mon univers émotionnel, j’ai voulu l’inscrire dans un espace-temps figé, peu soucieux des libertés artistiques certes, mais égoà¯stement centré sur ma propre perception ; ici et maintenant, histoire de savoir, peut-être, où j’en suis moi-même... à€ tous ceux qui m’ont lu, merci pour cette belle année et à bientôt, qui sait.

Alors, une bonne cuvée cette année 2012 ? Assurément, oui, même si j’avoue qu’à de rares exceptions près, c’est-à -dire les années (…)
