5.0 out of 5 stars Nostalgic but yet still new...., October 27, 2010

As someone who only speaks/understands English and rudimentary Spanish, it may seem odd to some that I am absolutely in love with this album. However, beautiful music is universal, and Zaz creates beautiful music.

At times she reminds me of a stripped down Edith Piaf or Amy Winehouse due to the drama and emotion in her voice, and at times like Pink Martini. As I don't understand the lyrics, I find it interesting that almost all of the songs still evoke either a mental image or mood. Zaz manages to hit this very tricky balance of incorporating traditional French sounds (like accordions) into very cool 21st century music. It makes this album somehow nostalgic and yet fresh and exciting at the same time. I also think Zaz's exceptionally smooth vocals stand mentioning. Her voice is simply pleasant and comforting to listen to. Her music in general is a mixture of upbeat folk and jazz.

My favorite songs on the album are the single "Je veux" (an upbeat jazzy little ditty which is how Zaz first caught my attention) and "Eblouie par la nuit" (which almost makes me cry because of the emotion in Zaz's voice).

I can't recommend this album enough--especially if you listen to music in other languages frequently and/or enjoy chill hipsterish music.

I will not write a huge review but simply say- I heard a few of the songs while in a cafe in Istanbul the other week. Instant attraction! I bought the album and have listened to it a few times since. It is good all the way through. I look forward to future albums.

Soulful, fun, peppy, romantical. I don't know a word she's saying, but you don't need to hear the words because you can hear the emotions ripping through each track.

This is one of my favorite albums, definitely great for when you need to step back and remember to enjoy the life you're living.
