Disappointed compared to other recordings of hers of the same songs I'm surprised this has got such superb reviews and bought it on the strength of these. I've previously bought Messages Personnels and Comment Te Dire Adieu which have some of the tracks from this album and whilst they're still good on this album, I find them much harsher recordings of the songs.

Those long hot days of summer This is the first album I reach for when the weather is cracking the pavement! It has such a warm light touch and is one of the best 'feel good' albums you could hope for. Everyone who hears it wants to go and buy a copy.
It doesn't matter in the slightest that most of the tracks are in French, whether you understand them or not, the feeling comes through. Infact, if the whole ablbum was in English it would probably be too syrupy for words.
The simplicity of the tune on Tous Les Garcons (either version... more info
