Overview
’Ooh La La’ is a bittersweet farewell, marking Faces’ final studio album before their split. While some listeners may overlook this album in favor of their earlier records, ‘Ooh La La’ exudes a laid-back charm, blending Bluesy swagger with a Folk-tinged edge. The raspy, freewheeling vocals and loose instrumentation creating an effortless groove, leaning into rustic acoustic textures alongside their signature Rock ‘N’ Roll grit. This is a record that feels both celebratory and reflective. Though it may have been overlooked at the time, it has aged into a fitting - if perhaps unintentional - swan song for one of Rock’s most effortlessly cool bands.
Recommended for classic Rockers looking for a legendary swan song.

It’s weird - faces on a face… what more do you want from the band? And it’s a fancy-looking man with cat-like eyes… ooh la la, I guess.
