Description
Unknown to many, former supermodel Carla Bruni came from a musical family (her father being a classical composer and her mother a concert pianist) and she always continued to sing and play music. Eventually, as the modelling wound down she decided to start writing and recording. Any misgivings that critics may have had over Carla Bruni's ability to make the transition from the catwalk to the recording studio have been wholly dispelled by the runaway success of this her debut album. The record has sold 1 million copies in France and made her a household name in many countries solely for her music. Perhaps more significantly the album has met with effusive critical acclaim among the not so easy to please French music press. Les Inrockuptibles, considered by many as a touchstone for all that's hip and happening, was happy to highlight Bruni alongside such luminaries as Norah Jones, Vinicius Cantuaria and Femi Kuti. However, Bruni's musical success has gone far beyond France. Last year this album was one of the top selling French albums abroad proving that truly great music will cross all barriers, and hence now it is Australia's turn to embrace this truly incredible album.
