En Duo: Louis & Carla


It seems only fair that Carla Bruni duetted with Louis Bertignac - he's the guy who discovered her singing talents. Bertignac is rock royalty in France thanks to Telephone, the Gallic equivalant of the Rolling Stones. That is to say - they were the equivalent, until the split in 1986. From then on, Louis started a new band Les Visiteurs, and when that wasn't a big succes, went on a solocareer. And produced the album of former lover Carla Bruni, Quelqu'un m'a Dit, that became a huge national, a also international succes. It's one of the best examples of Filles Sourires-music: a husky girl, a guitar and loads of double entendres, innuendo and wordplay. It's like being seduced.

The duet between Carla and Louis is taken from Louis' most recent album Longtemps. That is also an appropriate term when it comes to the follow-up of Quelqu'un - Carla, it's really nice that you write lyrics and sing choirs for Julien Clerc and all, but for chrissakes, it's been four years since you're own album! Come on! We're in need!
