2007 sophomore release from the French model-cum-chanteuse, released four years after her successful debut album Quelqu'un m'a dit. On this album, Bruni drew inspiration for the songs from English literature, particularly with the works of Emily Dickinson, William B Yeats, Wystan Hugh Auden and Walter de la Mare. She delivers a heartfelt and personal English interpretation of these 11 poems of romanticism and melancholia. Her gorgeous voice wraps around each word, filling each line with deep emotion. You don't have to be a fan of French Pop or classic English poets to feel the beauty of this album. Naive. 2007.
