Browsing the net I found this that defines very well the latest work of Carla Bruni. It seems so bad to me that I don't even want to waste my time making a review of it. No Promises.
Four years after his surprising debut with “Quelqu´un m´a it”, Carla Bruni returns with a second album. For this occasion, The former model has set to music a series of poems by authors from the late 19th century and early 20th century such as Emily Dickinson, William B Yeats, Wystan Hugh Auden or Walter De La Mare.
The blindness of the crowds never ceases to amaze me. The new case is Bruni. If their first album had a more than passable note and an undeniable eroticism, This unbearable second job shows a great reality: this girl doesn't know how to sing, hardly tunes and, express, what is said to express, yes it expresses: boredom. A “bluff”. a deception. a montage. Rich people making music for rich people “in” that are more “out” than they believe. If you want classy music, buy Xavier Rudd's album and let the model do her posing., what is yours. Don't let companies fool you. Shoe rack to your shoes.No Promises Tracks 01.

I listened to the first CD, and I thought, what a whim the girl has had!!
Of course his voice is very fragile, sometimes it makes me suffer to see that it is not going to reach the acute… Take my namesake a few centimeters taller, put a few extra pounds on it, and forget about that heavenly face, what's left? Do you think he would have had the opportunity to record a CD if his name were different??
Also if you see the concert videos, It's very static, he barely moves his eyes. Using your hair to cover your earring.
In France they really like that image “BOBO” (BOhemien BOurgeois), o sea, be a left-wing and bourgeois intellectual.
