Carla, Coralie


Listening to the new Carla Bruni album right now (you can too, log on to Carlabruni.com), and although I haven't heard all songs yet, it's safe to say that she revived the spirit of her debut. Her singing style is very, VERY FS-friendly - L'Amoureuse is like Zuchtmeisjes 101. The Michel Houellebecq-poem is very touching - this is what No Promises should've been like.
Also received the new EP by Coralie Clement - now we know why Benjamin Biolay went to South America earlier. Some songs sound like CC is jamming with those Peruvian flutists that (used to) crowd busy shopping streets. You really have to restrain yourself from whistling El Condor Pasa. Ukelele-galore! Still, I like So Long Babylone, and the beautiful duet with Etienne Daho.

  2. Comme une antilope!

    Beautiful Carla did it again. With ukelele and harmonica this time and with recovered authenticity. Could have been a bit more sleazy and less sophisticated every now and then, but that'll probably return when she's tired of being a first lady and her mind is full of her next lovelife-catch.
    I'll keep my fingers crossed.

    Remaining time: 75:13
    I'm off, nevertheless this album deserves all the time there is left.
