This music is really divine. It is the best music in the world. I love Vanessa. She is really great singer and actress.

The best of the VP studio albums, only bested by her first live CD. Vanessa's vocal quality and choice of music here are first rate. Even as a non French speaker I liked this more than her '92 US release with Lenny Kravitz. Most songs are mid tempo, more upbeat than ballads, but slower than straight ahead rock tunes. All are arranged with a compelling blend of tension and power. If you were interested enough to find a page containing a 1990 French Pop CD, I think you love it.

when i first heard this album, i thought it was her worst. i thought the songs were completely unlistenable and that they were repetitive. but i was wrong....

once i gave this album another chance, i fell in love with vanessa all over again. her music choice on this album has so much tension and power. the lyrics are incredible.

starting off with a very powerful song "l'amour a deux" which is what first caught my attention. and then the beautiful haunting ballad of "dis-lui toi que j'taime". vanessa's voice carries it off so well.

"l'amour en soi" was one of the songs i was wary about. i thought it went on forever. but i saw the music video to this one, and it all changed. don't ask me how that happened, but i love this song now. "La Vague A Lames" is my favorite track on the album. like "dis-lui toi que j'taime" it is haunting also, with the whisperings in french by people in the background, i love it. it's beautiful.

"Ophelie" starts off as a slow rock tune, but then makes its way into a very catchy tune. it's a very good song that has the sound of an early 90's pop song. "flagrant delire" is one of those little songs that are wonderful that play just the right part before....

"tandem" i love this song. i loved it before i bought this album. the sensualness of it all, and especially the music video. vanessa's voice totally brings it alive. "au charme non plus" is one of the couple of songs that have pure tension in them. it's very powerful and intense. a nice addition to the album.

"variations sur le meme t'aime" this is probably another one of the greatest songs on this album. the little usage of english terms such as "of course i love you" or "no i don't know" is very cute. "amour jamais" is a very catchy song, but it is also a slow rock tune, very laid back. nice.

"ardoise" is a compelling rock tune that can hold you very well. it fits perfectly before coming to..."walk on the wild side" one of vanessa's first songs in english. and she does it very well too! that's one thing you have to love about vanessa: it's her diction. she says the words so crisp and clearly. which is something i couldn't do, if i ever tried to perform in french. i'd stumble all over myself!

vanessa has always had a special place in my heart when it comes to her music or movies. there's just something incredible about it all. she seems like such a wonderful person...i hope to attend one of her concerts someday! this cd definitely reminds me of the early 90's, and the memories it brings along with it...

all in all, this a fantastic cd filled with emotion, art, and beauty. serge gainsbourg did a excellent job writing the lyrics. if you're searching for a great 90's french pop cd, then you definitely have found it. one of vanessa's best and most compelling albums to date! :)
