In the six years since her last studio record, singer/model/actor Vanessa Paradis flourished in her other notable careers, appearing in an international Chanel campaign and offering a Genie-winning performance in 2011’s Café de Flore. Whether upbeat (“Tu vois c' que je vois “) or serene (“Rocking Chair”), Paradis' Love Songs underscores her affection for vintage pop standards using ’60s and ’70s grooves and gently dramatic strings. Sophisticated, urbane, and seductive from start to finish, it's perfectly befitting for a vocalist who embodies—and refreshingly updates—the unflappable cool of breathy pop icon Bridgett Bardot.
