Album Notes & Community Reviews

Working closely with producer Michel Berger, the iconic French vocalist delivered a sophisticated, mature record that revitalized her career for a new decade. The title track, a sweeping piano-driven ballad featuring spoken-word interludes, became one of her most enduring and defining anthems. The sophisticated arrangements eschew the y茅-y茅 style of her early career in favor of lush, deeply emotional adult-contemporary pop.
