 Comme si de Rien n'Etait==Carla Bruni August 31, 2008

I was extremely disappointed. I thought I would receive several songs sung by Carla Bruni. All I requested was Comme si de Rien n'Etait and that is all I got. There were two other instrumentals on the CD.
 Missing the wit September 6, 2008

Nice CD, but missing the intelligence and wit of the former "Quelqu'un m'a dit". The texts, as well as the tunes, have become simpler, less interesting, and have lost their twist and bite.
 love it as much as her first CD August 13, 2008

Her music is just sweet, bluesy, dreamy and so relaxing- It makes you drift off and slow down, which is something you can't get enough of in this hectic day and age. Plus, even my wild 3 year-old boy approves of it and totally mellows out. I would recommend it and buy it for my friends:-)
Absolutely fabulous September 3, 2008

I love French music and I love this CD, because it is sung in French, but more than that, I truly enjoy Carla Bruni's voice. As I listen, I just smile. Truly what I was hoping for and got.
Not Bruni's best, but still magnificent September 1, 2008

Ms Bruni is a superbly gifted chanteuse.
There's no bad song on this album (actually, not one on any of her three albums).
The lyrics are ironic, insightful, mature and clever. The arrangements are gorgeous, and they make this a truly "folk" album.
In "Ma Jeunesse" and "Je Suis Une Enfant" Bruni jokes about her age and revels in the memory of childhood.
"Salut Marin" is a perfect folk waltz, dedicated to her late brother Virginio.
"Ta Tienne", which is the best song on the album in my opinion, is reminiscent of "L'Excessive" and "Le Toi Du Moi": it's just as fun and cheerful.
"Il Vecchio E Il Bambino" was originally a political song (by Francesco Guccini), but it fits the mood of the album, despite its genuinely peculiar meaning.
Other amazing tracks are her cover of "You Belong To Me", "L'antilope" and "Notre Grand Amour Est Mort" (those who say Bruni's singing voice is flimsy had better listen to this track, and to the whole album).
I still think "Quelqu'un M'a Dit", her debut album, is better than this last effort of hers -- still, "Comme Si De Rien N'Etait" is the best album I've bought this year, so far.
