Personnel: Daniel Dato (alto); Fred Ceraudo, Roger Loubet, Florent Bidoyen, Guillaume Roussel (programming). Formed in 2009, Les Prêtres are the Gallic version of the Northern Irish trio the Priests, who scored a hit with their debut album in nearly every territory bar France a year earlier. Produced by Florent Bidoyen, it includes one song that appeared on the U.K. act's debut ("Ave Maria") while also adhering to the same formula, covering traditional classical pieces ("Amazing Grace," "Ave Verum Corpus") alongside more contemporary pop songs (Francis Cabrel's "Il Faudra Leur Dire," Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah"). ~ Jon O'Brien
