5.0 out of 5 stars America's Best Kept Secret?, June 10, 2004

In-Grid is a big new star in France but can she cross over into America? Her infectious first single, "You Promised Me", got played to death on mainstream radio in a lot of the well-known stations over by where I live and yet when her debut album 'Rendez-vous' came out I couldn't find it anywhere! I had to resort to buying it online so apparently people in the states aren't embracing her music the way I thought they were... Once again, a great emerging artist comes around unnoticed while Britney Spears continues to get recognition, which is really quite sad. I'm terribly picky when it comes to this genre but this is one of the best dance-pop albums I've ever had the pleasure of hearing, and for once the lyrics and singing are anything but cheesy! The soaring rhythms, melodic beats and hooking chorus lines/verses of love and pain are extremely catchy! The songs are of course very club friendly yet sophisticated, too, with a lot of accordion thrown in to give it that French feel.

I'm tempted to compare In-Grid with Kylie Minogue since fans of her music will surely appreciate In-Grid as well but while they both know how to use their minimal ranges to seduce the listener with their gorgeous, ethereal voices, they definitely sound like their own unique self with slightly different styles. And, as a warning, I bought 'Rendez-vous' from Amazon and the track listing and artwork are not the same as what is being advertised here, and because there's so many different versions of this album floating around, I thought I'd save those who may be confused and say this is in fact the English version, albeit she does incorporate her native language from time to time.

Here is the actual track listing:
01. You Promised Me
02. We Tango Alone
03. More And More
04. In-Shock
05. Inside Of Me (my favorite!)
06. Evermore
07. Summer Souvenir
08. So Folle De Toi
09. Don't Believe
10. Slave To Thee
11. Only Lies
12. Get Lost

I love everything about this album and I hope to hear more from her in the future, but my only quarrel is how I wish some of the songs were longer. They all range to be a little over 3 minutes in length and so they almost seem to be teasers for you never want them to end!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent dance album, May 9, 2004

I first heard In-Grid's "You Promised Me (Tu Es Foutu)" on the soundtrack to "Queer Eye For the Straight Guy". I immediately loved the song right away. It was incredibly catchy and had a really good beat. Whenever I would play the soundtrack I would always replay "You Promised Me (Tu Es Foutu)". I have been looking for the full-length album that the song is on and finally found a copy today. I bought it right away. Although I don't understand a lick of French, I loved the cd. All the songs are undeniably infectious and hard to get out of my head. In-Grid has a nice, pleasant voice that doesn't overwhelm the music. I wouldn't compare her to Celine Dion because she doesn't resort to obnoxious vocal acrobatics that Miss Dion is notorious for using. I found it really difficult to pick out a single favorite song off the album. All the songs are really good. They have that catchy, danceable beat that I look for when I am in the mood to listen to dance music. I can never tire of "You Promised Me (Tu Es Foutu)" no matter how many times I have played it over and over again. This is one of those rare dance songs that can never get on my last nerves. I look forward to hearing more music from In-Grid. If "Rendez-Vous" is an indication of what to expect from her in the future, then I can't wait.

OK to clarify, on the made in Russia CD you get 2 extra tracks, the English version of Tu Es Foutu, and a remixed version in French. Enjoy!
