Description:
"A collection of 19th- and 20th-century lyric poetry recorded by a slinky French/Italian ex-supermodel doesn`t exactly inspire hope. But Carla Bruni has form... No Promises, consists of 11 adaptations of poems by WB Yeats, Emily Dickinson, Dorothy Parker, Christina Rossetti, WH Auden and Walter de la Mare, with folk, blues and French chanson-style arrangements. Poetry set to music can sound hopelessly mannered, but Bruni`s songs combine just the right mix of reverence and anarchy." -- The Observer (Domino)
