CD Reviews

Great music...beautiful singer with a so-so voice
cinephile | Oklahoma | 07/18/2006
(3 out of 5 stars)

"Unfortunately, Arielle Dombasle doesn't quite have the voice to pull this off. I like her selection of songs, and her accompaniment is exquisite. She even does a good job some of the time. It's those other times, when she's flat, that really detract from your listening pleasure. The good moments outnumber the bad, or I would pan her altogether.



"Rhum and Coca-Cola" and "Whispering" are my two winners for this album. The vocals needed to be honed (or fixed with "studio magic") before some of these were released to the public. I got the feeling that Dombasle was trying to channel Edith Piaf at times, but she's no Edith Piaf."

"It probably is my taste, but I got the CD based on what someone else said, and the person and I must have far different tastes. I thought she was mediocre at best. Not the fault of Amazon, of course. My fault."
Captivating...........

"Spanish cabaret? Well, why not? I suppose that all music and singers are a matter of taste...Miss Dombasle comes from a multi national background, all parts of which are visible here...Spanish music sung in French style, perfect English [she's American by birth], with the barest hint of a French accent.



The opening "Sway", done in Spanish and English, will get your attention. For me, the two "hits" were "Rhum and Coca-Cola", and "As Time Goes By", with some interesting engineering on the latter. No duds, though Julio Iglesias' voice on track 3 isn't what it once was. "Besame Mucho" provides a fine ending.



This is not an album for everyone, but if you like this kind of music you will enjoy it...pretty girl [if the cover isn't an old picture, HOT for her age], fine, sexy, voice, skillful production. Enjoy......."
