Plaza Mayor Company Ltd release Erwann Kermorvant's score for Prête-moi ta Main. Life is easy for Luis, 43, a happy, pampered single person, nurtured by his mother and five sisters. It could have lasted a lifetime, but lo and behold... Tired of mothering him, his family decide it's time for him to get married...

Erwann Kermorvant delivers an upbeat, feel good score for Prête-moi ta Main. And while it's relatively short (17 tracks - 24 min, 32 sec) it's incredibly satisfying. There's depth and warmth here, in what could have been a throw away, light and fluffy piece.

There's humour (in tracks like 'Le Faux Mariage') and romance (in pieces like 'Le Parfum'). This is certainly a score I was pleasantly surprised by. While there are a handful of themes that are woven throughout the score, they never feel overused or forced to the foreground.

Overall, this is a lovingly crafted score that is far superior to soundtracks in a similar vain. Give it a whirl, you just might fall in love.
