Gab Paquet is described in many ways – “perfection made man” is just one example among many – but what you need to know is that this being of sensual excess and spiritual exaltation is before quite a bewitching herald enhanced by a divine gift for music, and that it is in popular French song that he finds a vehicle for his essential messages – a sulphurous kitsch which has nothing of a guilty pleasure. What we must also know is that these aforementioned aesthetic and sound codes that he uses are attractive lures to attract the public into the dedicated aspect of his artistic approach : his pieces magnanimously offer several levels of understanding, and everyone finds something there – a laugh, a reflection, an in-depth study, an illumination – in an ecstatic communion.
