Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars The Gall to make this album!.......2002-11-24

While a vast improvement over her days as a "variey" singer 68-71, this album falls short of her fun, carefree pop as a "yý-yý" girl. New hubby tries to give Mlle. Gall her first dose of credibility with more personal, introspective songs. But, for the most part, they sound like standard fare early 70's pop which, by today's standards, is less interesting than her standard fare 60's songs.

Nonetheless, this album somehow managed to bring Mlle. Gall back into the French psyche, giving her the undeserved immortality of the likes of Johnny Holliday (who still gets front page mention in the MATCH to this day, despite the fact he's never had any talent whatsoever).

Independent of comparisons to her previous or later work, this album, at best, sounds like ABBA B-sides. Pleasant but unsubstantial. "Comment lui dire" starts the album off strongly but the rest of the album seems to trail off.

France's limited ability to hold a pitch was endearing in her sweet adolescent days, but with her new "grown-up" sound leaves alot to be desired.

Indeed, it was the wild, experimental choice of everything from Beatles to Jazz to psychedelica that made the early period Fance Gall records so appealing. This record may have seemed mature and well produced for the time, but now it seems too "safe."

Nowhere in the league of "Baby Pop" or "1968."

4 out of 5 stars THE BEGINNING OF HER MUSICAL ADVENTURE WITH HER HUSBAND.......2000-10-17

FRANCE's second career started with this wonderful record in which she displayed her considerable charm singing the songs of her husband MICHEL BERGER.Along with TOUT POUR LA MUSIQUE, it remains her best.You will notice that all the songs deal with the building of a love relationship.Gone was the teenager who sang her father's songs and also GAINSBOURG's melodic delights.If you want only one original from that singer this is the one.For a compilation,go to LES ANNEES MUSIQUE available in one or two cd,the double being of course more substantial
