Thomas Dutronc: Love

Thomas Dutronc releases a cover of the John Lennon song Love ahead of the release of a new acoustic live album due out next month.

While the son of French pop legends Jacques Dutronc and Françoise Hardy, Thomas Dutronc has carved out a very different musical identity, informed more by gypsy guitar than by yé-yé, more jazz than chanson.

His forthcoming album is released on legendary heavyweight jazz label Blue Note records France. His last release was 2015's Éternels jusqu'à demain, which reached the top five in France.

The album was recorded live during a recent tour, and features 50% unreleased songs as well as some of his solo material, all presented acoustically.

The video for the song is a low key but appropriately tasteful affair.

Live is Love is released on September 7. He's got three live dates in Paris at the beginning of October.
