Editorial Reviews

2005 Studio Release (In French) from the Australian Singer is as Stunning as it is Eclectic . With a Cool Blend of Acoustic Guitars, Eastern Strings and Driving Rhythms, It's Probably Tina's Most Ambitious Work to Date Not Only as a French Language Record but as a Contemporary, Progressive Album Mostly Co-written by Tina Herself. Despite the Variety of Styles that Make Up the 13 Track Offering, the Album is Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts and is Held Together Beautifully by Its Greatest Asset - Tina's Voice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning Album, March 23, 2006

This review is from: Un Autre Univers (Audio CD)

"Un Autre Univers" is a consistently satisfying album from start to finish. Tina Arena gets better with each album (and she was already pretty darn good). This is her best work. The music is lush and distinctive. She rocks, she soars, she haunts, she grooves and she never disappoints with a voice that is pure and melodious. All the tracks are strong but "Si Tu Veux Mon Coeur" is particularly extraordinary. The music on that track is transcendent and haunting. I also love the rocking "J'ai Envie de Savior," the sultry title track which befittingly uses the music from Tina's English language song, "Woman," and the uber-soulful "S'il Faut Prier" that will give you chills.

If you don't speak French, I still think you'll enjoy the album because Tina's expressive voice makes you feel what the song is about without actually understanding the words.

This album is top notch and transports to un autre univers, indeed.

Indeed Leyla, you're right. This new album is just wonderful. I specially like S'il faut prier. Please let me know if you need any translation. It'll be my pleasure.
I think that indeed, here voice is even nicer now and I was actually about to cry on Aimer jusqu'à l'impossible and it got worse on S'il faut prier. Just buy it if u wanna be touched deep deep down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning & Sophisticated, June 2, 2007

This review is from: Un Autre Univers (Audio CD)

This 2005 French album "Un Autre Univers" by Australian singer/songwriter, Tina Arena, is her most stunning & beautiful album to date. It transports the listener into a world of musical sophistication and class. I cannot speak French but this is no barrier to truly appreciating this album. The songwriting, the vocals, the production, the style - each is of an exceptionally high standard. The lead single "Aimer Jusqu'a L'impossible" was a massive hit in France in 2006. Other standout tracks include: "Je M'appelle Bagdad", "Si Tu Veux Mon Coeur", and "Il y a Des Jours". But favourite tracks aside, the entire collection is a must for any existing Tina Arena fans & any newcomers looking for an introduction to this exceptionally talented & beautiful singer. I sincerely hope that this is not the last of Tina Arena's French recordings because this style of music suits her perfectly 5/5.
