France’s First Lady Gets Reviewed
July 11 2008 No Commented
Former supermodel, France’s first lady and French folk/pop music star Carla Bruni’s third album drops in the UK on Monday. The British media were sent advance copies of the CD and did they tear her a new one with their reviews. She got a unanimous thumbs down from some of the more respected outlets. The Guardian says “The hardest part about listening to Carla Bruni’s new album is somehow erasing from your memory that woman in the demure, dove-grey Dior coat, flat shoes and little black hat who had us all swooning back in March…When she sings, in ‘Je Suis une Enfant’, that she remains a little girl ‘despite my 40 years, despite my 30 lovers’, for instance, that doesn’t exactly sound what you might call presidential.”
