Some More Good Music

Carla Bruni, Quelq’un m’a dit.

Yes, Carla Bruni, the supermodel heiress (or should it be heiress supermodel?) who used to date Mick and now lives with an up-and-coming philosopher (in France, philosophers actually can be up and coming) in an apartment in Paris that’s nicer than any place you’ll ever live (read all about it in last spring’s profile in The Guardian).

Pretty French guitar pop, but really good. In fact, I’d call it lovely.

M says she doesn’t like it because it’s not rock-y enough. S says that’s because it’s mellow. M says she doesn’t like mellow. But she’s eight, so why would you listen to her? Take the grownups’ word for it: lovely.

[It was released in France two years ago and in England last year and I thought it just came out in America, but poking around the internet, I’m only finding imports. Sorry about that.]

[OK, S just poked around more effectively than I did. The official release date is March 22, but it’s already in some stores--he got it at Barnes & Noble two weeks ago. You can hear it here.]
