When I first discovered Carla Bruni, I thought she was a fairly unheard of artist. She may be for people in the U.S., but she certainly is a well known person overseas. She has been in quite the spotlight in French pop-culture from sex scandals with Mick Jagger and other lovers, to currently being the First lady of France now. Putting all that stuff aside, lets focus on the music…

Carla Bruni is one of your more melo artists, but is one of my favorite musicians to listen to for those chill moments. She sings mostly in French and I have no clue what she is saying. However, this is one of the best things I like about listening to Carla Bruni, because it allows you to fill in lyrical meaning on your own. I discovered Carla Bruni after one of my friends gave me the 500 Days of Summer Soundtrack and her song Quelqu’ un m’a dit was on it. I dug up all her other stuff and liked much more of her compositions, especially the ones in French. My all time favorite song by Carla Bruni is You Belong To Me. It’s a cover, I know, but she performs it perfectly. Check all of her best here with the playlist below!
