La Musique by ExGuyParis
Liane Foly is my favorite French singer, and easily hold a spot in my list of top five favorite singers ever. Great music transcends language, and this is great music. You can fully appreciate the drama, emotion, range, spirit, and power of these songs without speaking a word of French. If you do know some French, you will be touched and moved by the words as well. The song "DOUCEMENT" is simply gorgeous. You will note a Brazilian flavor in some songs, thanks in large part to the amazing background vocals of Trio Esperanca, three lovely and talented Brazilian women (whose acapella CD's are woth checking out). ?Au Fur Et à Mesure? is another marvelous, mellow song.
Liane Foly's greatest hits CD gives a retrospective of her career so far. This CD is called ?Au Fur Et à Mesure: Best Of.? Surprisingly, my favorite song, "LES PETITES NOTES" is not included on the greatest hits CD. I recommend the CD titled ?Les Petites Notes? which contains this song plus a lot of Brazilian flavor songs.
I had the pleasure of seeing Liane Foly perform in Paris at the Olympia. She is one of those rare talents who sounds even better live. Backed by a tight jazz band, she sparkled and soared that evening.
For a delicious taste of French music, try Liane Foly. You can find her CDs on Amazon.
