E:20/05 Win 1 Of 10 Copies Of No Promises CDs By Carla Bruni

kipper_2-2

Carla Bruni has always had a certain poetry. A definite je ne sai quoi. The grace, style and beauty of this Italian-born, France-raised thirty-something is legendary; her last album ‘Quelqu’un m’a dit’ sold 1.2 million copies in France and another 800,000 worldwide. Plaudits from press and public were effusive, unanimous. Bruni’s gorgeous, thoughtful tones begged comparisons with the likes of Norah Jones and Madeleine Peyroux.


Her new release, ‘No Promises’, is a quietly triumphant gem. An album that celebrates the lyricism of a round table’s worth of English language poets in eleven songs. That highlights the exemplary musicianship and creative vision of Bruni and her producer/collaborator, ex-Telephone guitarist Louis Bertignac. From the harmonica-fuelled interpretation of WB Yeat’s ‘These Dancing Days Are Gone’ (‘I carry the sun in a golden cup/the moon in a silver bag’ runs the beautifully annunciated refrain) to the chiaroscuro take on W.H Auden’s ‘Lady Weeping At The Crossroads’ and the rocking version of Emily Dickinson’s ‘I Felt My Life With Both Hands’, one feels that all the poets involved – male or female, American or British, 19th or 20th Century – would have granted Bruni their blessing.
