A Star Is Born!

(5 out of 5 stars)

""No Soucy!" made Ophelie Winter a star when it was released in 1996. Though she was already a television personality in France on M6 (channel), but her mega-hits "Dieu m'a donne la foi," "Le feu qui m'attise," and "Shame on u," made her a household name and one of the biggest stars in France! The album is a mis of R&B, hip hop, and even has some rap. She came before Britney, Christina, Mandy, and all the others -- stars which have been molded by record companies to reproduce Ophelie's allure by copying her sound and style, but they've never been successful. Christina Aguilera's "What a Girl Wants" is actually Ophelie's song "Ce que je suis!" That's right, Christina did a COVER of Ophelie's song, but never gave up the credit! No Soucy is a timeless album, and I would encourage anyone to buy it, even if they don't understand French. I know you'll love it! I still listen to it in 2003. There is also an English version called "Soon," but the songs don't have the same dynamism since they've been translated. French is a beautiful language to listen to, especially in music!"
