Engaging, Polished, Sound Rich
A woman sings and speaks in three languages, with English in the lead, so it can be perfectly followed by US listeners. For me, hearing the languages colliding in this piece that sits on a bed of wall-to-wall, intensely colorful music is very pleasurable. I've seen the album all over France and now I will buy it. If I have any criticism of the piece, it might be that there isn't time to learn much about the singer - the structure of the piece is all happening at once. I attribute that to time constraints. However, this piece would make a very attractive drip-in for any magazine or arts program and I suggest that the proudcer provide some tight lead-in copy that helps anchor who the singer is (more specific than the copy on the piece page - more info that's not in the piece, like the part about the record going platinum) and it would be a great piece to air.
