French First Lady Lets You Preview Her New Album on Web

by Christine Whitney on July 10, 2008 at 04:07 PM



Nudie-picture posing, French president-marrying singer Carla Bruni has a new album coming this week, and you can preview it on her Web site. Loggers-on have two hours to listen to the 14 tracks of "Comme si de rien n'etait" (if your French is as effed up as ours, that's "As if nothing had happened") for free. However, we couldn't get it to play, and had to stare at a whimsical guitar drawing and fluttering butterflies for 10 minutes before giving up. Ralph.

We hope you have better luck than us, though. Our hopes are not the highest for Bruni's latest endeavor, which is inspired largely by her relationship with French prez Nicolas Sarkozy. "...You need to know, you need to understand, you are my lord, you are my love, you are my orgy," she sings in one song.

We just threw up a little in our mouths after reading that.

But that's not nice. We always liked Carla when she was running around singing schmaltzy Serge Gainsbourg hits. And we like how she's still doing her thing despite all the haters who were into her when she was a model but now shun her for marrying a right-winger. She's donating all album proceeds to charity and forgoing the promotional tour. You can maybe listen to CSRN here, or buy it on July 11th to see how it really is and find out more than you ever wanted to know about Nicky Sarkozy. [Source: Reuters]
