Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Patricia Kaas is proud of her stance as a unique chanteuse, and her individuality is clearly highlighted on this CD, recorded in Paris and London with an impressive selection of first-rate musicians. She demonstrates her musicality in unusually vigorous and varied interpretations. Not afraid to challenge her audiences, Kaas dares to mix genres as different as a piano quartet and a bal musette accordion on the same disc. She can, on "JoJo," sound like the reincarnation of Edith Piaf, but she also succeeds in putting her own personal stamp on such Piaf classics as "La Vie en Rose." On this disc, she essays two songs in English, but her distinctive charm is revealed more clearly in her breathless rendition of "Reste Sur Moi." --Ed Killham

Patricia, je te dis tu es belle. Et l'album aussi

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 28, 2003

There's more nightclub torch ballads here and less blues than on Scene De Vie, and there are times when her voice does match Bonnie Tyler's for soulful intensity, if not roughness. Tour De Charme begins with the music-box like "Y'Avait Tant D'Etoiles" before going into the piano torch ballad "A Saint Lunaire", which is a special place "because happiness is fragile/pull a thread and it's undone."
The moody "Je Retiens Mon Souffle" has shadings of an 80's ballad, prominent piano mixed with some bossa nova. One of the three standout tracks here.
A bluesy sax begins Patricia's comforting ode to the downtrodden and unlucky, "Ceux Qui N'Ont Rien" which has a steady drum and at times, an electric guitar. She is backed on the chorus by a brass section and the intensity of her voice is supported by backing vocalist: "Let me sing/for those who have nothing/let me think/that there is still someone/who tries to give something good." This line really caught my attention, yes, another theme to this reviewer: "When you've seen your life slip by/and you've felt guilty all this time/you wonder if it wouldn't be better/being someone else."
Then comes the standout track, "Il Me Dit Que Je Suis Belle", which is an 80's ballad in the manner of Heart, John Waite or Alias with the electric guitars, synths and backbeat, with a Mutt Lange-like sheen. Her voice really wails a storm in the climactic end, awash with electric guitars and keyboards. She's dreaming of her ideal man, but sadly, that's where he is: in her dreams. Key line: "But the nights are my churches/and in my dreams I believe."
She then covers Maxi Priest's "Shape In My Heart", originally on his Bonafide album, done in her torch ballad style with accompanying piano. Her voice is just as resonant in English, as it is in French. Not bad.
"La Liberte" is a song on the homeless, refugees from Gabon for example, whose song is "Freedom/you won't find it next door/Freedom/it's at the end of the world."
Another sad torch ballad, "Fatiguee D'Attendre", of an emotionally-killing silence, and how to break the ice. The "tired of waiting" refers to tender words never spoken.
Her voice takes on a deep timbre in "Jojo", where the title character is "the king of the bars" who's drinking to forget someone, but the chanteuse knows something that will allow him to remember, not that he'd care.
Then comes her cover of Edith Piaf's "La Vie En Rose," which is done in the same slow tempo as Piaf or even Audrey Hepburn's rendition in Sabrina. A nice touch is added with the piano and violin.
The melody of "Je Dis Te Vous" could've been good for Sade's Diamond Life, although Sade would've tuned down the heavy instrumentation.
"Reste Sur Moi" has a nocturnal ambience with upbeat prominent bass and keyboards reminiscent of Sade's "Never As Good As The First Time."
The English sung "It's A Man's World", the James Brown number, states that despite the patriarchal world, "it wouldn't be nothing, nothing/without a woman or a girl." Without them, man would be "lost in the wilderness" and "lost in the bitterness"... like me. She recites the verses but sings up a storm on the chorus.
The quiet synth ballad "Entrer Dans La Lumiere" features a gospelish chorus after the bridge. It's a bit jarring to find English lyrics and not the French, especially as all but two of the songs are sung in French. However, I'll list the titles in French and then the English translation, where applicable:
Y'Avait Tant D'Etoiles: There Were So Many Stars
A Saint-Lunaire: In Saint Luniere
Je Retiens Mon Souffle: Holding My Breath
Ceux Qui N'Ont Rien: For Those Who Have Nothing
Il Me Dit Que Je Suis Belle: He Tells Me I'm Beautiful
Space In My Heart
La Liberte: Freedom
Fatiguee D'Attendre: Weary of Waiting
Jojo
La Vie En Rose: Life All Rosy
Je Te Dis Vous: I Say [To] You
Reste Sur Moi: Rest On Me
It's A Man's World
Entrée Dans La Lumiere: Coming Into The Light
A strong and worthy followup to Scene De Vie, showing Kaas expanding her styles, but never losing her vocal prowess or position as France's chanteuse of the 90's. Tres bien, Patricia. Et Je Te Dis Tu Es Belle.

Tour de Charme-oui, fantastique!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 26, 2000

This CD from the talented French singer Patricia Kaas is one that you should definitely get, especially if you are interested in learning French and/or more about the French culture. If you are like me, you will probably end up learning new French words. Unfortunately, the CD only comes with the English words but if you do some searching on the internet you can find the French lyrics and "match them up."
Some great songs are À Saint-Lunaire, Ceux Qui N'Ont Rien, La Liberté, and Je Te Dis Vous. I love all of the songs, except for the last three tracks (especially "It's A Man's World"-Kaas should just stick with the French).
I garuntee that you will not be disappointed if you buy this CD. Each song has a good beat, and even if you don't understand a word she is saying, you will be singing along. If you're looking for a good French CD, then you've come to the right place. Parce qu'elle est une bonne chanteuse!

The best and original European female singer in the Nineties

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 19, 2004

The strong presence and magnetic charisma of that outstanding vocalist can be felt even by the most candid listener. Gifted with a wide frequency voice , she may be well displace for several rhythms and musical territories with any problem . Every track is new experience .

From Hotel Normand for instance to Kennedy Rose or the outstanding theme Mademoiselle chante le blues to Entrer dans la lumiere are formidable and eloquent performed.

I guess to assist to one of her live performances must be simply terrific and hallucinating .

Buy this album and will obtain much more than the simple sum of the tracks .

Superb

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 5, 2003

All right, I'm biased. Kaas has been a favorite of mine for probably the last decade, if not longer. She has the most amazing voice, so full and rich, and she manages English and French songs equally well (even though she'll always be a quintessentially French artist). This album was my absolute favorite in college, and I still go back to it, particularly to the beautiful ballad Je Te Dis Vous, which is just SUCH a beautiful song (and, if you know a bit of French, the words are great, too). Other than that, JoJo is very good (a little Russian, even), as are La Liberte, full of very native rhythm, and the bluesy Laissez-Moi Chanter. In general, a great compilation of songs from a lovely and talented singer.

2002 , Desember 31 , 11 pm ... Russian Christmas 1 hour away... My TV decided to take a breake and refused to show any signs of life . I put this CD on and had a very good conversation with my girlfriend to celebrate the New Year ... Thank you P.K.
No wonder why she is so popular in Russia . She reminds me of Sade , just different ... and French is a beatiful language . Well deserved 5 stars .

Blues in Watte gepackt

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on February 20, 2010

Patricia Kaas ist zweifellos eine große Künstlerin und Bühnenentertainerin. Sie hat zugegeben eine tolle Stimme. Eine richtige Bluessängerin ist sie meiner Meinung nach jedoch nicht. Das Verrucht-Rauchige im Gesang von Bluesshouterinnen wie Bessie Smith oder Ma Rainey sowie - neueren Datums - etwa Elkie Brooks oder Angela Strehli fehlt ihr fast völlig. Kaas' Version des Blues würde ich bestenfalls als Softblues oder 'Blues light' bezeichnen. Ihrem Blues fehlen schlicht und einfach die Ecken und Kanten. Er klingt zu clean, fast keimfrei. Die Band von Patricia Kaas spielt absolut professionell, so gut wie fehlerfrei. Die Musiker klingen dabei, als ob sie aus dem Jazz- bzw. Jazzrock-Bereich kommen. Aber so richtig von der Leine gelassen, werden sie während der Konzertaufnahme nie. Die Kaas verbleibt im Slow- und Midtempo-Bereich. Mag sie bei diesem Auftritt gar einschläfernd auf ihr Publikum gewirkt haben? Könnte sein, denn während des Konzertes fragt sie ihr Publikum: "Vous êtes deja fatigues?" Trotzdem enthält das Konzertprogramm mehrere Highlights. Zu nennen wären das unter die Haut gehende "Kennedy Rose" und die Longversion von "Mademoiselle chante le blues". Absoluter Höhepunkt ist für mich aber die wundervolle Ballade "Il me dit que je suis belle". Hier ist die Kaas in ihrem Element. Stimme und Song passen genauestens zueinander. Leider unterläuft der Künstlerin jedoch auch ein absoluter Mißgriff. Beim Versuch, den Marilyn Monroe-Song "I wanna be loved by you" zu covern, mußte sie ganz einfach scheitern. Zweieinhalb Sterne kann ich leider nicht vergeben. Deshalb letztlich knappe drei Sterne für die Französin.
