Claude Bégin starts Les magiciens with “Avant de disparaître,” a wildly uplifting gust of blues-indebted pop that pays tribute to YOLO. With its seize-the-day sentiment, the track sets the tone for the entire album. On the gorgeous “Le vrai visage,” Bégin weaves gentle fingerpicked guitars and soothing electronics around a beguiling horn melody and his own inspired croon. Later, “Celle qui chante” finds Bégin expertly assembling a spirited group vocal that never stops climbing.
