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

By	Clarissa "MoonGoddess" (Ontario, California) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Truly interesting, October 22, 2004

By	Benjamin Norman "Trance Pants" (Washington DC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ok, so everyone who's heard "You Promised Me" is probably VERY tired of it.

Well, perhaps you shouldn't get this album. It is laced with French and Italian influences, set to hypnotic dance beats and trancy synths.

Personally I love the album. The Benassi Brothers dipped a hand for the track "Summer Souvenir" which makes it fun, exciting, and a bit psychotic towards the end.

While some of the songs on this disc are similar, overall the disc is very appealing and a lot of fun to listen to. Her voice, while thickly accented, is easy and enjoyable to sing to, and the songs are simple enough to be universally understandable.

I recommend it, it's a great dancey album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing !!!, September 27, 2004

By	Marlene (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews

This is an awesome album. It has that european feel to it, and if you like european music, then you will like this. Ingrid brings an amazing beat to every song. It makes you want to get up and dance with the songs. It really is a great album. I recommend it to everyone who like this type of music (european). But WARNING - This is the english version. Just in case some of you are looking for the original (french). It is still awesome though either way !!!
