So I'm going to say what I've said on these pages before. It isn't purely 'the music' that holds Alizeé's career back. Her entire performance is misaligned. Were it not for past momentum, I doubt Psychédélices would have sold even those couple hundred thousand copies. The talent is there still, but she is headed the wrong direction. And she need not take a 'sexy' approach to get her career back on track - quite the opposite. Absent re-thinking direction, a fourth album won't materially change matters.
