Casse têtes, the album by Yves Montand, is a beautiful collection of songs that showcases the French singer's talents. Released in 1961, the album features 12 tracks, all of which are sung in the French language.
Montand's voice is powerful, yet delicate, and he effortlessly navigates through the various styles of music on the album. From the upbeat "La Bicyclette" to the more somber "Les Feuilles Mortes," Montand's delivery is always pitch-perfect.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Sanguine," a hauntingly beautiful song that showcases Montand's ability to convey emotion through his voice. The song is a perfect example of Montand's ability to make even the simplest of melodies sound profound.
