Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.
A polished return to familiar songs, with its interest in reinterpretation more than new writing or a distinctive album-length arc.
What we noticed
- The sequence moves through songs from Mitchell’s catalog, including « Pas de Boogie Woogie », « Couleur menthe à l’eau » and « La Dernière Séance », rather than building around new material.
- The catalogued 16th track is a second version of « La Même Tribu », giving the set a reprise after the run of song-specific revisits.
- Several French titles sit beside adaptations of American songs, including « Sur la route de Memphis » and « Everyday I Have to Cry ».
