Douce violence is the third album of the French singer Elsa Lunghini, and it was released in 1992.
Background and critical reception
[edit]In this album, when she was only 19, she began to disassociate herself from his father, the composer Georges Lunghini. Understanding her phobias, he wrote songs including "Bouscule-moi" or "Tout l'temps, tout l'temps." There are also four songs written by Jean-Loup Dabadie.
This album met with less success than previous ones, although it was certified Gold,[3] and marked the singer's change of look : indeed, she appeared more adult with a very short cut.
The singles from this album were less successful than the previous one : "Bouscule-moi" was the only one that reached the French Singles Chart, but it failed to enter the top ten (#14).
