Details: Product Description France. Amazon.ca Julien Clerc, as we know, loves women, and they love him back. But for now, one in particular has his full attention. The one he has sought out is one of the most coveted: Carla Bruni. The six lyrics penned by the former Italian supermodel ("Aussi vivant", "Se contenter d'ici-bas", "On serait seuls au monde"…) are a surprise. The beauty steps back gracefully, offering one of show business's most private artists a woman's emotions. It is the man's feminine side that finds expression here through fragile confidences ("Si j'étais elle"). But this eighteenth album is above all marked by encounters. Those with the American Umberto Gatica (Mariah Carey, Céline Dion, Michael Jackson) and with a twenty-three-year-old, Khalil (Assia's brother, "Quelques mots en ton nom"), who is already making a name for himself in the world of soul, rhythm and blues, and hip-hop. We also find his long-time accomplices: Etienne Roda-Gil ("Va-t'en de moi") and David McNeil ("Tu t'en es allé"). An invitation to travel, enriched by sensual ("J'oublie"), sweet ("Va-t'en de moi"), and melancholic ("L'Horizon chimérique") melodies. A few whimsical moments and musical touches tinged with funk and groove ("Aussi vivant") nicely round out the picture. Si j'étais elle has real atmospheric power and is not far from being one of Julien Clerc's best albums. --Valérie Dupouy
