I love this album. Carla Bruni has one of the most delicious and sensual voices I've ever heard. The songs on this album are little more than that gorgeous voice against the light strumming of her acoustic guitar. It feels so intimate to listen to, as if she's whispering these songs live right in front of you. Such a refreshment from much of the new crop of singers who require massive studio production just to get out a good sounding song. The lyrics are absolutely beautiful as well, like poetry. Cheers to Carla Bruni, who even as an Italian can sing French in the most beautiful and soft of accents.

Free-spirited and girly, yet sexy and passionate, this is a great album from Carla Bruni. I first heard this in a Youth Hostel in Lyon, and it is still on regular rotation now i am at home. Not only is Carla Bruni a beautiful model, but she is also a talented musician, singing and playing guitar on this album, as well as writing much of it herself. You don't need to know French to appreciate this album, as its (mainly) happy mood will take you to the cafes of France on its own. Well worth searching for.

This review is from: Quelqu'Un M'a Dit (Audio CD)

I have always been a fan of the "French Chanteuse" tradition, and it is nice to see some new women singers evolve in the style of such women as Barbara--whom I unconditionally adore! Consequently, Bruni's c.d. is a new essential in my collection.

However, I am inclined to agree with some of the less than glowing reviews concerning Bruni as an "artist." The music on the c.d. can be monotonous, and her singing style is wearing after 12 tracks. To hear Bruni whisper through a song, and then to hear a singer such as Keren Ann...let's just say, in my humble opinion, that they are not in the same league. Keren Ann is an "artist." Barbara is an "artist." Bruni is trying really hard. Not that that's a bad thing....

For the most part, the songs I most prefer are the ones that Bruni did not entirely write herself. "Quelqu'un m'a dit," "La Noyee" et "Le Ciel Dans Une Chambre" are wonderful! I listen to them constantly, and they alone make this album worth the purchase. As to the others...well, how many of us really love every song on every c.d. we buy?
