Carla Bruni - No Promises

U.S. pressing of the 2007 sopomore release from the Italian-born model and singer featuring bonus material. Her musical debut, Que Uelou'Un M'A Dit showed she also had a penchant for sultry singer-songwriter fare in the classic French pop style. No Promises mines similar territory, but takes it's lyrics from the works of famous poets such as W.H. Auden, Emily Dickinson, and William Butler Yeats. The music is soft, rhythmic, and intimate, driven by acoustic guitar, and the whisper-sung words add to the French café-style ambience. 11 tracks. Downtown Records. 2008.
