Robert - Les Jupes Maxi Jupes

Review by Fidel Campos

Les Jupes Maxi Jupes: A Synth-Pop Time Capsule from 1991 Alright, let’s talk about Les Jupes Maxi Jupes by Robert. It’s one of those albums that feels like it was beamed straight outta France in the early '90s with its neon-soaked vibes and synth-heavy swagger. Released under Columbia, this little gem blends pop and electronic sounds into a style that screams (well, more like hums) “synth-pop.” Directed by Christophe Dupouy, Mathieu Saladin, and Robert himself, with M. Saladin and Robert handling the writing duties, it’s got this raw yet polished charm—like someone spilled glitter on a circuit board. Now, I gotta say, two tracks on this album really stuck with me: the titular "Les Jupes (Maxi Jupes)" and "Juste En Fermant Les Yeux." Let me break it down for ya. "Les Jupes (Maxi Jupes)" hits you right off the bat with this pulsing beat that just grabs your brain and won’t let go. It’s kinda hypnotic—the synths swirl around like they’re trying to convince you to dance even if you’re sitting at home eating chips. The rhythm builds up slowly but keeps teasing, never fully exploding, which somehow makes it even better. You know how some songs are just… too much? This isn’t that. It’s smooth, sleek, and leaves space for your imagination to fill in the blanks. Plus, there’s something about the way the melodies loop back on themselves—it’s like déjà vu, but in a good way. Like running into an old friend who still smells faintly of perfume from years ago. Then there’s "Juste En Fermant Les Yeux," and oh man, this one feels like closing your eyes during a sunset. All soft edges and dreamy tones, it pulls you into this weirdly intimate headspace where everything slows down. There’s no rush, no pressure—just these lush layers of sound wrapping around you like a warm blanket. It’s not overly complicated; instead, it leans into simplicity, letting the emotion do all the talking. Honestly, every time I hear it, I forget what year it is. That’s how timeless it feels. The other tracks ain’t bad either—especially the dub edit version of “Les Jupes,” which gives the original track a fresh twist—but these two stand out as moments that linger long after the music fades. They remind me why people fell in love with synth-pop in the first place: it’s emotional without being cheesy, futuristic without losing touch with humanity. Thinking about this album now, decades later, it strikes me how ahead of its time it was. Back then, the world wasn’t ready for all this shimmering electronica, but here we are in 2023, and it still sounds fresh. Funny enough, listening to Les Jupes Maxi Jupes feels like finding a forgotten mixtape in the bottom of a drawer—except this one came from a stranger who somehow knew exactly what you needed to hear. Oh, and hey—if you ever stumble across this album in a thrift store or online, grab it. Not because it’s rare or anything, but because it’ll make you smile in ways you didn’t expect. And honestly? Isn’t that what music’s supposed to do?

And who told you I don't train ? Guess why I'm here, writting in English whereas I could just talk to you in French ? By the way, calling me a fool don't make you look more intelligent. Sigh.

Tch, obviously. Training is the best (and only) way to learn a language, you fool.

So... You think efforts are sufficiant to speak perfectly English ? You seem really clever !

laiwei22

2025-03-07

Yeah, exactly. I'm french and english is not my native language, but I'm still making efforts you know. You should do the same.

So you expect everybody to talk a perfect English even if it's not their native language ? How cute !

Hey, let me learn you something : English is not the native language of every single one on Earth ! And even if it's not your native language too and you speak it better than me, I really don't see the point of telling me to "take some English lessons" (btw, English takes a capital E, take some grammar lessons ;) )
But well, you now what's said : "If you can't win an argument, correct their grammar instead. "

You're answering me. Since you think I'm a fool, you're also a fool, taking time to answer such a stupid person as myself. Now try to get it or take some english lessons.

You tell me to realize how foolish I sound ? Oh, the irony...

Actually I noticed that. I just told you that I did it on purpose. Now realize how foolish you sound. :)

I'm a huge RoBERT's fan but... Aren't you a little be contradictory ? I mean, you're angry because he's telling Robert's music is shitty and your only argument is "I mean you listen to shitty rappers like WK" ? Come on ! You can't ask people to be respectfull if you're not yorself !

@winston2818 : Si ! Rassure toi. Je suis français et j'adore Robert. J'ai eu la chance d'aller l'applaudir à l'Olympia à l'occasion de ses 20 ans de carrière. C'était fabuleux.
J'aime beaucoup aussi cette chanson : le texte est sympa, avec plusieurs lectures possibles, la musique enivrante et Robert est fabuleusement belle dans ce clip, mais comme à chaque fois d'ailleurs...
