Carla Bruni returns with an exciting collection of some of rock music's most classic hits performed in her signature softer, coffee house style. Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence", The Rolling Stones' "Miss You", and ABBA's "The Winner Takes It All" appear on this new release, sure to enthuse both fans of Carla's as well as fans of rock staples from the last 50 years.
In an interview with Billboard, Bruni explained the decision to record in English saying, "The idea mostly it came from David Foster, who produced the album. I met him in Los Angeles after I played a gig there in 2013. He said to me that he would love to produce an album of mine for America, but that my songs are so French! He said that people in America would love to hear me singing in English. I said I'd love to do it, but I only write in French and I'd never thought of doing a covers album. I wanted to hear his ideas though, so we met in Paris and had a cool afternoon where I played some of my favorite American and English songs on the guitar, like I've done since I was 10 years old. And David said, 'Oh, this is going to be great. Can you make me some demos?' So I made my own demos, like they were my own songs. David said he really liked them because we twisted the songs a lot. I did that with my guitar player and my piano player who are both on the album. It was very organic... I think it was fun for David -- who is sort of a grand producer that uses orchestras and strings and big productions for great voices -- to do these acoustic covers.."
