Carlina - Je Sais

Review by Dexter J.

Carlina’s “Je Sais” – A 1964 French Gem That Still Hits Different Alright, let’s talk about Carlina’s Je Sais, because honestly? This album feels like a time machine to 1960s France but with enough soul and groove to slap you right into the present. Released on Columbia in ‘64, it’s this funky, soulful mashup of Rhythm & Blues, Chanson, Pop Rock, and just straight-up vibe juice. If you’re into music that makes your heart feel stuff without trying too hard, this one’s for you. Now, I gotta shout out two tracks here—“Je Sais” and “La Vie Continue.” These aren’t just songs; they’re moments. Like, when “Je Sais” kicks in, it’s got this smooth-as-butter rhythm that wraps around you like an old leather jacket. Carlina’s voice is raw yet polished (yeah, I know that sounds weird, but trust me), and there’s something about the way she delivers those lyrics—it’s vulnerable, real, unfiltered. You can almost picture her sitting at some smoky café in Paris, spilling her guts through song. It sticks with you, not because it’s flashy, but because it’s honest. And then there’s “La Vie Continue,” which hits different every single time. The opening chords are so simple, almost like a shrug, but man, do they pack a punch. There’s this bittersweet energy running through it, like life itself—messy, unpredictable, beautiful. It’s kinda poppy, kinda rock-y, and totally French. By the end, you’ll catch yourself humming along even if you don’t speak the language. Weird how music does that sometimes, huh? The rest of the album keeps up the charm. Tracks like “Chante L’Ave Maria” bring a softer, dreamier vibe, while “Simplement, Tendrement” leans more into classic chanson territory. But what ties everything together is Carlina’s ability to make each track feel personal, like she’s whispering secrets meant only for you. Here’s the thing: listening to Je Sais isn’t just about nostalgia or appreciating its historical value—it’s about connecting with emotions that haven’t changed since 1964. Love, loss, hope—they’re all there, served up with a side of funk and soul. And honestly? In today’s world of auto-tune and overproduction, this record feels refreshingly human. Fun fact: apparently, Carlina wasn’t even sure anyone outside France would care about this album. Imagine that! Little did she know, decades later, people would still be geeking out over her work. Makes you wonder what other hidden gems from back then are waiting to be rediscovered, doesn’t it? So yeah, give Je Sais a spin. Let it remind you that good music doesn’t need bells and whistles—it just needs heart. Oh, and maybe grab a glass of wine while you’re at it. Trust me, it pairs well.
