Her second studio album "Tendrement" came a year later featuring the same style and meeting almost the same success (900.000 copied sold). On August 2003, a live recording of Lorie's first concert tour waw released, called Live Tour 2003.
Her third studio album "Attitudes" came a year later. It has a more pop-rock sound even though it's a teen pop album on its core. It was not as successful as her previous efforts as it sold 500,000 copies, but it is still considered a big success.
After another live album and a greatest hits collection Lorie released in 2005 her fourth album "Rester la même" . By then Lorie's popularity had declined and and the production of her albums was dated. This didn't prevent her from topping the albums charts once more but the sales were very decreased. In 2006 an unsuccessful thrid live album was released called "Live Tour 2006".
Lorie's fifth studio album, and her ninth album overall, "2lor en moi?" marked the change of her sound. While most of her previous records consisted of pop/rock and bubblegum pop songs, Lorie thought it was the moment her music should become "more mature" since her fans "were all growing up". With the help of popular producers, a fresh new album was born, different from anything Lorie had done before. The albums sounds more like Kylie Minogue or Rachel Stevens, being more electro. The critics praised this transformation but in terms of sales the album was a minor hit. it debuted at #7 in France, less than any other of her albums and is certified gold. The singles were more successful. "Je vais vite", released as the album's lead single, had great response and chart success. The second single "Play" became popular on its own all across Europe, especially in clubs. On December 5, 2008, the album's third single, "1 Garçon", was released. The promotion was little but the song's lyrics ("parce que t'aime un garçon", which means "because you love another boy") and the video caused much controversy (for some of its scenes like the one when two guys get very close to each other and are about to kiss).
Pas Un Ange
Lorie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mais t'es parti voir ailleurs c'que j'avais pas
La fille docile sans histoire faut qu'tu l'oublie
J'ai fais semblant de te croire quand tu m'as menti
Mais tout ca c'est fini je suis aujourd'hui comme j'ai envie
J'suis pas un ange je me venge comme toutes les autres
J'suis pas un ange qu'on échange contre l'une ou l'autre
Y'a plus de nous je me fous de tes regrets
Fallait réfléchir avant de t'égarer
Maintenant tu voudrais te faire pardonner
J'suis pas un ange je me venge comme toutes les autres
Le genre trop lisse j'ai enfin su l'affuter
Toi d'un caprice tu veux tout recommencer
Avec du temps et des larmes j'ai bien changé
Et je deviens comme les femmes dont tu revais
C'est tant mieux si tu l'vois mais un homme comme toi
Je n'en veux pas
J'suis pas un ange je me venge comme toutes les autres
Et plus la belle qui sommeil n'oublit jamais
J'suis pas un ange qu'on échange contre l'une ou l'autre
Y'a plus de nous je me fous de tes regrets
Fallait réfléchir avant de t'égarer
Maintenant tu voudrais te faire pardonner
J'suis pas un ange je me venge comme toutes les autres
Y'a derrière mon image
Une femme à l'état sauvage
Qu'à présent tu envisages
Celle qui je suis déjà quelqu'un d'autre en profitera
Mais ce ne sera pas toi
The song Pas Un Ange by Lorie is about a woman who lived solely for her partner, who eventually left her for someone else. The lyrics describe how she pretended to believe his lies and played a submissive role in the relationship. However, she has now changed and no longer wants to be seen as the meek and obedient woman he once knew. She declares that she is not an angel and will seek revenge like any other woman would. She no longer cares about his regrets and he should have thought about his actions before going astray. She has become a stronger and more assertive woman, one whom he would have dreamed of being with, but it's too late now.
The lyrics portray a woman who has gone through a transformation, from being a docile and submissive partner to someone who stands up for herself and is not afraid to seek revenge for her hurt feelings. It is a song about empowerment and taking control of one's life. The message is clear that the woman will no longer tolerate mistreatment and will not allow herself to be replaced by someone else.
This song has a powerful theme and a catchy beat that resonated with many women. It is an anthem for those who may have felt overlooked, neglected or taken for granted in a relationship. The lyrics are empowering and provide a sense of hope that one can rebuild oneself after a heartbreak.
