Originally best-known as an Italian-born model who had affairs with Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton, Bruni has matured into a remarkably talented and self-possessed singer-composer-guitarist. Her debut album, sung mostly in French, could best be described as neo-chanson. Bruni's whispery, wobbly, husky voice, wryly deadpan delivery and introspective lyrics recall Francoise Hardy, Barbara, Jane Birkin and Nico. But unlike her forebears, who so often posed as waif-like child-women and doormat-like victims of passion, Bruni remains firmly on top. Her lyrics can and do celebrate true love but she also praises the delights of female sexual empowerment in no uncertain terms, as on J'en Connais ("I've Known A Few"). Musically, the tunes range from folk Francais to echoes of le jazz hot to bluesy torch numbers. The spare, mostly acoustic instrumentation is unfussy and atmospheric, while the I-couldn't-care-less ambience is occasionally punctuated by chimes, insouciant whistling or an impudent, sly giggle. --Christina Roden
Album Description
V2 Records cordially invites you to a very special listening experience of Carla Bruni. Rarely does an album come along that touches everyone who listens to it, even those that do not speak the language in which it was recorded. Quelqu'un M'a Dit, the first album from the acclaimed French singer-songwriter, Carla Bruni, captures you with the first note and leaves you humming the last. The Franco-Italian beauty sings of love and loves lost with the ability to evoke powerful images across any language barrier.
Album Description
The critically acclaimed hit 2002 debut album for the Italian super model previously linked to Mick Jagger & Eric Clapton. 12 tracks, written by Carla, with arrangements by Louis Bertignac of French new wave act Telephone. Naive.

 Great even despite the language barrier November 17, 2008
nodice (Manchester, Ga United States)
Okay, I know it may sound strange a CD when you barely understand the language. Even still there is such a beauty to the music and to Bruni delivery that I absolutely love this cd. I play it on my mellow Sundays and love listening to it with my hot tea and book of the day. Wonderful music.
Sexy, French...and sexy October 5, 2008
Disciple of Enoch (Somewhere east of here)
No technical review here -- simply a great cd to listen to and think about her choosing you over nicolas.
 Beautiful music even though I don't speak French June 25, 2008
Thomas O. Mitchell (portland, or United States)
I love her music! It's mellow acoustic guitar and she has such a beautiful and sexy voice. I don't know what she's saying but i LOVE the way she says it!!!
not bad for a model turned singer/songwriter May 7, 2008
Ying Lu (Detroit, MI United States)
It is a bit unbelievable that she should have it all- sultry voice, gentle lyrics, playful melodies. While the content theme can be diversified a bit more, the album is definitely full of personality, like the mystery of the artist herself.
great lyrics February 15, 2008

I have read some of the other reviews and I am appalled. Someone is fixated on the fact she used to be a model. Another one compares her to Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan... Obviously, these people do not speak French. Because if they did they would realize that Bruni's lyrics (mostly written by her) are fantastic. And this is what really matters here, not her looks. These poetic songs are also very well interpreted: Bruni's soft voice matches the lyrics, she makes them come to life. It is songwriting at its best. If you speak or understand French, you won't be disappointed.
