Who: Sex kitten from the 60s who for some reason has decided to make a comeback during her mature years.

Sounds like a nightmare: You'd have thought so but this is actually a decent CD, all be it very French.

All Je t'aime: A bit, but there's no dirty Serge Gainsbourg around this time although there is a French guy who keeps calling her a "flirt" on Pour Un Flirt Avec Toi.

Verdict: This is a big surprise, sounding both very traditional French and up to date. It also includes one of the best lines I've heard in ages "Don't stare at your face, with your nose out of place. At the wrinkles where zits used to be," (Smile) with Placebo's Brian Molko. Plenty of guests add to the general feel including a collaboration with Bryan Ferry on his "In Every Dream Home A Heartache," plus Francoise Hardy and Portishead's Beth Gibbons.

i-Pod: Smile, Canary Canary

Label: EMI

Rating: 4/5
