Review

Entertainment Weekly (No. 812, p.71) - "[Bruni's] dusky acoustic chansons are as flawlessly French as a late-afternoon stroll down the Left Bank..." - Grade: A-

Title Note

Recording information: 2002.

Considering that Carla Bruni is an Italian tire-manufacturing heiress and a former Paris supermodel, it's a safe bet that she didn't cut this fine debut album for the money. That sense of nothing to prove imbues these songs with a catlike comfort that goes right from the ears into one's aching muscles and joints, past any language barrier (all songs are in French) or prejudice against supermodel musical talent. Bruni's singing voice is warm, sultry, and languid with a touch of rasp, as if she's just woken from a wonderful nap, and rumor has it she wrote, sang, and played acoustic guitar for all the tracks while barefoot. Louis Bertignac (Telephone) produced this album and plays electric lead guitar, both evoking mellow 1970s Eric Clapton (a former lover of Bruni's) and that era's folk-rock, particularly on "Tout Le Monde" and the liltingly sweet "La Ciel Dans Une Chambre." Other songs, such as the title track, bounce along with a little more traditional cafe oomph, but not enough to disturb the pervading air of delicious jet-set languor, which comes refreshingly sans ennui or extraneous production gloss.
