Review by Ken Suen

Album Review: 100000 Enfants Paris Sous Les Iles by Rika Zaraï (1979) Alright, buckle up—this one’s gonna be raw. Rika Zaraï’s 100000 Enfants Paris Sous Les Iles isn’t your run-of-the-mill pop album from the late '70s. Nah, this thing hits different. Released in France under Philips, it's got that vintage Chanson vibe but with a twist that’ll stick to your brain like gum on a hot sidewalk. Let’s dive straight into the tracks, shall we? First off, “Paris Sous Les Iles.” This tune is an absolute earworm, man. It’s not just some fluffy love song about Paris—it’s deeper than that. The lyrics paint pictures of a dreamlike city, almost like Paris got flipped upside down and submerged underwater. You can practically feel the misty streets and hear the echoes of footsteps. And damn, Zaraï’s voice? Smooth as butter, but there’s this edge to it—a little grit, a little ache—that makes you sit up and pay attention. It’s haunting, but in the best way possible. Like, you won’t forget it even if you try. Then there’s “100.000 Enfants,” which punches you right in the gut. No joke. This track ain’t messing around—it’s heavy, both lyrically and emotionally. The title says it all: 100,000 kids. That’s a lot of souls, dude. Zaraï doesn’t sugarcoat anything here; she lays it bare, talking about innocence, struggle, maybe hope—or maybe the lack of it. The melody is simple yet powerful, letting her voice do most of the work. By the end, you’re left feeling… unsettled. In a good way, though. Like, you needed to hear this. Now, don’t get me wrong—this album ain’t perfect. Some parts drag a bit, and yeah, it’s definitely a product of its time. But that’s what makes it so damn interesting. It’s unapologetically French, dripping with emotion and flair. It’s not trying to be cool or trendy—it just is. Here’s the kicker: listening to this record feels like stepping into another world. A world where music wasn’t just background noise but something that grabbed you by the collar and shook you awake. Honestly, I didn’t expect to dig it this much. Thought it’d be another cheesy relic from the disco era—but nope. This one’s got teeth. So, what’s the takeaway? Maybe it’s this: sometimes the stuff you think you’ll hate ends up sticking with you the longest. Or maybe it’s just proof that Rika Zaraï knew how to craft songs that linger long after the needle lifts off the vinyl. Either way, 100000 Enfants Paris Sous Les Iles deserves a spot in your collection—if only for those two killer tracks. Now go listen to it before I change my mind.

J'étais un enfant, fils d'émigrés et j'étais en France quand j'ai été ravi d'écouter un album (que j'ai encore) qui contenait cette chanson et aussi 100.000 enfants, plusieurs décennies plus tard j'entends cette magnifique voix avec le même enthousiasme quei c'est récemment perdu, en fait une grande perte. Merci
