Green-eyed redhead Isabelle Boulay falls in the same category as Lara Fabian and Natasha St.Pier - shifting way too much in the Celine Dion direction (see exhibit A). That's why I almost never posted about said women. That is, unless a certain mr. Biolay comes into play. Benjamin wrote for Boulay before, for her most recent album he contributed (and played almost every instrument, as I understand it) the grand Ne Me Dis Pas Qu'il Faut Sourire - a title that's perfect for this blog, ofcourse. On Nos Lendemains, Isa also sings songs by Maxime Le Forestier, J-L Murat and Ron Sexsmith. Her cover version of the wonderful L'Appuntamento by Ornella Vanoni (clip) is a big mistake.
Isabelle Boulay - Ne Me Dis Pas Qu'il Faut Sourire
Lovely song. Isabelle is indeed an artist who should stop trying to be Celine.

Despite Biolay's efforts this songs does also have a tendency being a bit too kitschy imho. Luckily it stays just at the right side of the line.
