Ridiculously suave, sophisticated, and delicious crooning in French with a Brazilian flair from this 89-year old French icon. Duets with Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso add extra goodness. Produced by Jaques Morelenbaum w.great orchestration. So extremely, wonderfully play-worthy, every track worth at least one star. Mostly slow, romantic, and lush…I love this man (sorry Fo).
1. Sweet, lazy, happy midtempo love song to life.
2. Slow, sexy and meditative. Gentle, with sweet strings.
3. Tres romantique! Slow & swaying.
4. Sensual duet w/Veloso. A warm, slow love song.
5. Swinging, swaying, brassy, jazzy, retro yumminess.
6. Slow and lush with heartfelt vocals & lots of strings.
7. Another slow, sexy love song. Yum.
8. Relaxed blend of Italian folk & 50s jazz.
9. Slow w/a light touch of bossa and whisper-soft vocals.
10. A romantic classic in a gentle arrangement.
11. Something different, a funky gospel-esque midtempo jam.
12. Soft & delicate. Total snuggle-bunny music.
13. A version of track #6 w/Gilberto Gil adding Brazilian vox.
