Description
Though born in Italy, few in the popular imagination could seem more French than Carla Bruni. You don’t even have to hear French Touch to know what it’s going to sound like; for her fifth album, Bruni sings popular music standards (in English) as if they were chanson, all intoned from a pavement cafe with a Breton-topped, bereted wearing backing band boasting at least one string of onions. Produced by David Foster, it’s largely tremendous fun, even if the path on which it walks is rather well worn.
