Catherine Ribeiro’s album ‘Libertes? follows the style of her earlier works with les Alpes, incorporating more rocking elements with prominent bass and drums. The standout track, ‘Poeme Non Epique N. III,’ impressively showcases her intense and emotional poetry, complemented by a backdrop of dynamic drum clatter and keyboard squalls. Unlike her cosmic folk songs from previous albums, ‘Libertes?’ leans towards progressive rock, and Ribeiro’s energy impeccably aligns with the band’s performance. In contrast, ‘Qui a Parle de Fin’ features Ribeiro reciting poetry in a hushed whisper without musical accompaniment.”
