Aznavour toujours (Forever the Aznavour) is the 50th French studio album by the French-Armenian singerCharles Aznavour, released in 2011. Toujours became his seventh album in the 21st century. According toAllmusic, "this collection of 12 self-penned tracks shows that the 87-year-old is still capable of cutting it alone".[2] Album cover photograph is taken byKarl Lagerfeld.[3]
The songs were written and recorded in France and Belgium. For the arrangements,Eumir Deodato (Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, Björk) andYvan Cassar (Mylène Farmer, Johnny Hallyday)[4] were invited and the album "travels to Brazil and Paris, with an occasional little trip to Broadway and even Spain for Flamenca, flamenco".[3]
One of the songs, "J'ai Connu" (Gypsy jazz), addresses thegenocides that have occurred during Aznavour's lifetime.[2]
It was released digitally on August 30, 2011, by Capitol/EMI. After the release, Aznavour started his newAznavour en Toute Intimité tour in 2011.
