Chatterbox is my sacred indian name. 　　 　　It was given to me by Anne Rousse, a dear friend of mine, in reference to my personal recording studio “Le Studio du Moulin” and to my witty long-windedness, which in french is called to be “un moulin à parole”. This name also refers to the fact that I am both a producer/arranger and a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. 　　 　　I accepted this name with a little reluctance at first, due to the meaning of the word itself. 　　Being a chatterbox - someone who is excessively talkative - has a rather pejorative connotation. Who has never said that someone is too talkative as opposed not talkative enough? 　　 　　Well, apart from Freud, few men indeed! 　　 　　And more often than not, is it no easier to believe one’s own lies rather than to accept the truth as spoken by others? 　　 　　Having given it some more thought, I decided that this was an opportunity for me to embark on a new artistic journey centered around my voice. 　　 　　I say my voice and not my words, as it is now clear to me that: 　　 　　The meaning of things becomes visible, 　　When our pleasure includes the physical. 　　 　　So now, 　　 　　I’m singing in English the language that most pleases me, 　　My friends, welcome to the Chatterbox Factory. 　　 　　MANY THANKS TO 　　 　　The beautiful Brass section: 　　 　　Olivier Temime on tenor saxophone 　　Philippe Laudet on muted trumpet 　　Rémi Vidal on trombone 　　Christophe Mouly on transverse flute 　　 　　The amazing Backing vocalists: 　　 　　Lidiane Artbogast on songs 1 to 5 　　Sandrine Garcia on songs 6 & 8 　　Julie Santamans on songs 7 & 8 　　 　　Specials thanks to: 　　 　　Nicolas Jobet, Jacques Hermet & Damien Gelée, for their great ears. 　　Olivier Gadet for his amazing additional electric guitars. 　　Antoine Grimard, for the album look. 　　Governor Clay, for his help on the lyrics. 　　Jeremy Henry for the mastering at La Villa Mastering Studios - Paris, France. 　　 　　Heartful thanks to Robin Darlington, Pierre Cotte my Deceased dad, Hélène Cotte my mother and to Andrew, Lila & Valentine, my three soulful kids.
