Paris Mon Amour - 7828

Paris Mon Amour attempts to capture the romance of Paris in song, gathering 17 tracks from artists such as Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, Jacques Brel, Florent Pagny, and Alain Bashung. Gainsbourg and Birkin's "Je T'Aime Moi Non Plus" is an undeniably sexy French pop classic, while Brel's "La Chanson des Vieux Amants," Pagny's "Savoir Aimer," and Bashung's "Madame Rêve" take a more romantic, restrained approach. However, the collection loses some points for including a re-recorded version of Paul Mauriat's "Love Is Blue" and a version of "La Vie en Rose" by Trio Esperanca instead of Edith Piaf's classic rendition. Likewise, the synth-heavy "Aimer Est Plus Fort Que d'Etre Aimémé" that closes the collection tends to spoil the romantic mood set by the previous songs. Still, Paris Mon Amour is a decent collection of romantic French music, especially for someone just beginning to explore the world of French vocal music and pop. ~ Heather Phares
