Franck Monnet is a figure impossible to circumvent of the contemporary French scene.

Declining philosopher humanism with the daily newspaper, it is in the music and the song that this explorer of the intimacy of the hearts and the hearts chose to appease his creative appetite and his thirst to share his discoveries, after being himself intended some time for architecture.

Its sensitivity to flower of words is that of a witness of the life and its joys like its tests: with a discrete sincerity and a delicate decency, it delivers the evidence of love and the feelings purest to us, the calmest consolations when we are in the sorrow, as the déridées jokes when its music overflows of a simple and true joy, where its sharpened humor but always reserved, is never well far.

It has a deep knowledge of the winds and currents in the musical universe of these forty last years, and a rare control of poetry in the texts, a writing rich, constant, required, allied with a thorough experiment of the composition and audacity in the discovery of subtle and sweetened harmonies.

The FM songs are loadings for voyages, generally personal invitations because their destinations can be authentic, in a division most simply generous and without artifice.

One can find there the softness of the latitudes shone upon in the expansion of their coloured lights, the exotic emanations of spiced scents, the smoothness of fruity savors, because he married the rate/rhythm and the harmonies of the Brazilian musics or the original blues, or throw oneself to his sides, with enthusiasm and intoxication, in the torrent leaping and dancing of melodies straight inherited the best English influence of the Sixties and eighty.

Its songs are tasted as far as they are listened. And then they must be sung as they are listened. Like a exercise of breathing of joy and tenderness, a yoga serene with the wire of the soft ballades, or a cry of ode to the life on a rhythmic rock'n'roll of cleanest and simply effective. A concert of Franck Monnet is one evening which illuminates our life, which reconciles us with it or fills us of happiness.

Since more than ten years that this poet, flibustier of all the South Seas of the French song, bourlingue between the studios, the scenes and the plates of TV or radio, he became the accomplice and the partner of many artists, on events, albums, collaborations and orders, of Sinclair, M and Vanessa Paradis, until Murray Head, Enrico Macias, Tryo, Emily Loizeau, Claire Diterzi, Seb Martel and well of others still, like his comrades of the Tôt label or Late, under which appears with the autumn 2007 its musical tale for children: always where one can await it, always where it is also not awaited, it remains in the back-lights or appears with greatest clearness with an equal perseverance in its participation in the most outstanding facts of the French musical life. It was finally recently devoted to the film music for France3, tightening a cord moreover with its toothing-stone.

Beyond four albums principal that account its discography in 8 years, and many collaborations with its credit, an expansion of scarcities saw the day, become true collector's items for its more faithful amateurs, and the vidéos which circulate, at our time of development of new technologies, are a treat for all those which are conquered by the tender and generous charisma of this ideal troubadour and by the diversity of its Article.
