La vache qui pleure (album)

La vache qui pleure is the debut studio album by French singer-songwriter Aldebert, released in 2004. The album is notable for its whimsical and often humorous lyrics, dealing with themes of childhood, everyday life, and societal observations, often presented from a child's perspective. The title, which translates to "The Crying Cow," is a play on words referencing the famous cheese brand La vache qui rit ("The Laughing Cow"), and its cover art features a similarly stylized cow. The album established Aldebert's signature style and laid the foundation for his subsequent success in the French music scene, particularly within children's music and family entertainment. Key songs include "Super Mamie," "Les Amoureux," and the title track, "La vache qui pleure." The album received positive reviews for its originality and clever songwriting.
