sylvie is great.......2003-01-11

this is one of her greatest albums, she includes pop ballads as well as R&B (Motown) French versions in her unique winderful style. Excellent, enjoy it!

Beautiful ballads and the Motown sound in French.......2001-08-08

Sylvie Vartan has a deep, very powerful voice, one of the best voices in contemporary music, which allows her to sing in many different styles. This CD contains French original beautiful ballads as Deux Mains, Par Amour Par Pitie, Un Enfant Sans Soleil, and some French versions of English songs which I enjoy very much: Donne Moi Ton Amour, a powerful version of Spencer Davies' Gimme Some Loving, Moi Je Dance (The Four Tops' Same Old Song) and other French versions of very well known Motown songs (Je N'Ai Pas Pus Resister - The Supremes' You Keep Me Hanging On ; Garde Moi Dans Ta Poche - The Four Tops' I Can't Help Myself), they are carefully produced and fully orchestrated. These facts, together with the charm of French language and the wonderful voice of Sylvie Vartan, make these catchy classic tunes sound specially attractive. Her approach is perhaps more pop than R&B, but she preserves the fresh freedom of the originals. Sylvie sounds completely R&B in a more recent CD ("Irresistiblement Sylvie"(1999)), in it she recorded in English a cover of Dusty Springfield 1969 (also 1994) smash hit Son Of A Preacher Man. Although I am generally more fond of uptempo songs, I must say that the last track Drole De Fille of "Sylvie Vartan-2'35 de Bonheur" is a very nice ballad, French version of Single Girl. The title track 2'35 De Bonheur, also a French original and a very sweet song, is very different from all the rest, with an air of old songs in The Mysstinguet style. The sound quality is excellent. It doesn't matter whether you understand French or not, you'll enjoy this CD.

excellent!.......2001-07-25

Sylvie Vartan has one of the best voices in contemporary music, which can be appreciated since his 60s and 70s recordings (it is the case of this CD)to her most recent CDs "Sensible" and "Irrýsistiblement". If you are fond of very good French music buy this, no doubt youýll enjoy it and youýll go on listening to it during years.

Sylvie at her very best.......2001-03-19

French music lovers will certainly delight with this gem. I waited anxiously for a CD release of this album, since my original LP had long been 'retired'. When a friend sent it to me from Japan, as a present, I came close to crying. No need to say anything about 'La Maritza', a song widely recognised as a classic. But it is valid to mention 'J'ai cache le soleil', 'Le silence', 'Deux bateaux', and last but not least, 'Une feuille d'or', songs that are not very well known by younger fans. Sylvie's performance of the songs is a caress to the ear and listening to this record I return to my carefree days as a young adult. An expensive CD, oh yes, but one which is worthy of its price.
