As a French teacher who is always looking for new music to share with students, I am happy to report that this one has become a favorite of my classes. Songs such as A Tatons is particularly requested. We studied the words to the song and listened to it every day for a few weeks. The students are still singing it long after we have moved on to new artists. Axelle Red has such an inviting voice, and of importnace to me, the words are included in the jacket so you can sing along even if you don't speak French.

I bought this CD after hearing several of the songs on the radio while working in France. That was several years ago. I still listen to the CD over and over. It has become a main selection in my home. I would recommend this album to anyone who enjoys foreign artists. I have since purchased several other albums by French artists, but this one is still my favorite.

it does not matter if you understand french or not this album does not have one miss on it. every song will grab you be it a ballad or a motown funky number. she is GREAT!!!

Axelle Red is belgian, like me. So I coul not be objective. I simply love this record because of the voice, the music (american "motown" musicians) and a lot of charm. It's a record I love to listen in my bed to slowly and happily fall asleep. Axelle, we love you!

This is one of those CDs that you just have to listen to over and over again. Especially à tatons! It is a great song by a great artist. I definately reccomend this CD to anybody why is interested in a taste of great Français Musique! .

French is a beautiful language, but even more so when you hear it sung by Axelle Red. Her voice is lovely. The fast tracks rock softly, and the slow tracks are beautiful. I can't stop playing this CD!!

More than half a million copies sold worldwide. To be released in Spanish (summer 98). Axelle Red sings the official hymne of Soccer World Cup 98 together with Youssou N'Dour.

I love this CD, it is one of the best albums I have so far. She is even better than Vanessa Paradis. I never expected anyone to make better songs than Vanessa, but Axelle Red sure proved that I was wrong about that. This album is so good...all the tracks in this album is just amazing, even if I got this CD in 1997, I am still listening to every track over and over again and never get bored of them... If you don't have this CD than you are missing something here!!!SO GET IT REALLY REALLY FAST....

I expected much by previewing tracks on Amazon but the album failed to live up to expectations when played in full. Uninspired and lacking momentum, the album fails to thrill. I can only hope it will grow on me over time.

Axle is a wonderful singer and an even better person (she goes places we tend to avoid to work for human rights). This album shows her genius as singer and producer and shows that the guys in Memphis (Steve Cropper plays guitar) can bend to someone else's idea and make it magic. It is in French, so if you have to know the words, and don't speak French (and don't want to learn it) this may not be for you, but if you love music and think that most lyrics are forgettable anyway, this is a really wonderful CD. when Axle sings, you know she is singing to you, and it is great.
