4.0 out of 5 stars Camille - Le Sac de Filles, October 15, 2004

I was impressed with the catchy sound of this record from the very first track, "1,2,3" and it only grew on me. Camille Dalmais doesn't have a strip-paint-from-sheet-metal kind of voice, but she chooses good material that fits her sound.

The lyrics are ironic and sly, and worth repeated listens. The title track, pointing out that man's ultimate question is "what's in the girl's purse?" is a winner; it has a catchy, pop beat. I also like the wordplay on "Les Ex," a song about ex-lovers. Since the lyrics are included in the booklet, it's a good record for French students to sing along with.

If you like intelligent lyrics and snappy tunes you will like this record. Think Catatonia in French, not Welsh.

5.0 out of 5 stars Merveilleux!, September 30, 2004

Imagine Fiona Apple meets Damien Rice in vintage Cannes. Rich acoustics, satisfying sounds, and poetic French vocals. For me this CD is not just a keeper but a 'play until the tracks are worn right off the disc. Then buy another.' [Mrs. Readwell's recommendation: Allons-y! We must buy! Buy!]

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple but grand, September 30, 2005

I fell upon this CD after hearing one song from Camille's more recent album and I loved it. Not the typical music that usually listen too but some songs are just undeniably great. I admit there are some songs that I haven't even grown to love or listen too but tracks 3,5,6,7 and of course the amazing finale "La ou je suis nee"... I can simply keep that song on repeat.
The album is mostly vocal with some tracks having great instrumentals, Camille loves to plays with her voice and we love her for that.
The lyrics are quite simple, but damn smart with a lot of emotions just under the surface.
If you feel like something different and trying something new... take a chance on Camille either this album or "Le fil" the newer one and you at least be intrigued.
