5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and soothing music to melt away any bad., July 12, 2003

This review is from: Dans Ma Chair (Audio CD)

'Dans Ma Chair' was the album that first introduced me to Patricia's music. I fell in love with it from the first time I heard it. Even if the French language is not your forte, that will not keep this CD from being an exciting experience for you.
Patricia has such a beautiful distinct voice which will take you through a journey of pop, soul, blues, and even a little bit of country. The relaxing sound of songs such as 'Quand J'ai Peur de Tout', and 'L'amour Devant La Mer', (though melancholy in subject matter) will flow ever so gently on you soul. 'Les Lignes de Nos Mains' and 'Je Compte Jusqu'a Toi' are fun, irrristable pop tunes that you can't help but tap your feet to. 'Sans Toi', (my most favorite song) is just too powerful and emotional for words. It sets me bawling like a big baby. I'll have to say that there's not one bad apple on here. If you're curious to know what the French are listening to, buy this album, and let Patricia demonstrate to you the best of modern French music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite simply,"Dans Ma Chair" is art..., October 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Dans Ma Chair (Audio CD)

Patricia Kaas' voice is incredible - as rich and expressive as a Stradivarius in the hands of a master like Salerno-Sonnenberg, Ferras, or Perlman. Her music is easy to imagine as the first permanent audio exhibit at The Louvre. "Les Lignes De Nos Mains" is a song that makes me break out in gooseflesh, instantly transporting me back to the hotel in Paris where I first saw its accompanying music video. This music is so utterly, refreshingly DIFFERENT from the dreck that's filled the airwaves of 90s America. A "can't go wrong" disc, as are her three previous studio releases.****** I was thrilled to discover the release of Kaas' second concert CD, "Rendez-vous Live 1998", with a label indicating the concurrent release of a video of the same concert. Will Amazon.com be selling the "Rendez-vous Live" video? I'll be the first customer in line should it become available here. The same goes for her first concert video "Tour de Charme" - currently only available transcoded at a high cost from a French video rental company.****** It's rumoured that Kaas' next studio release will be entirely in English. Musically and stylistically I hope this doesn't happen - in such a case I would hope an all-French version will be released in France, in the same way as Eros Ramazzotti's dual Italian/Spanish releases. But if it is in English I predict she'll be as much a household name in America as Basia or Celine Dion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deeply involving dignified melancholy -- emotional sweep!, July 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dans Ma Chair (Audio CD)

This is one of the best pop albums I have ever heard. It is haunting from beginning to end (well, the duet is a bit of a letdown). Most of the songs seem to be made out of short melodic cells that she builds on with amazing clarity of expressive trajectory. The result is hypnotic. Lyrically very intense and sophisticated, even witty ("je conte jusqu'à toi"). That rare, French detachment is heartbreaking in places ("je me souviens de riens"), then comes a song so stark in its emotional nakedness ("je voudrais la connaître") that it's just terrifying -- a song like this would never be a hit in the U.S. yet hear its enthusiastic reception on her live "rendez-vous en concert" album. A lot of the songs were originally in English I believe (Lyle Lovett's "chanson simple," "je me souviens de riens," others) that the lyrical strength and natural utterance is astonishing. You would never imagine these flowed from anything other than a French pen. This is one of my favorite albums, possibly my favorite pop album ever. I still listen to it often two years later and give it to people I care about.

I have translated all lyrics and would be glad to share them!
