Customer Reviews of Sylvie Vartan
sylvie is great this is one of her greatest albums, she includes pop ballads as well as R&B (Motown) French versions in her unique winderful style. Excellent, enjoy it!
Irresist--EEEEEEE--blement...
Sylvie Vartan has a deep voice that she uses somewhat expressively, but she is often hindered on disc by poor material and mediocre production. This album is no exception. It's an absolute bore from beginning to end except for the insidious "Irresistiblement," a huge international hit for Vartan that recently underwent a revival in Japan. Once you hear it, you will never, ever forget it: It is full of cloying hooks repeated over and over again that won't let you go, no matter how hard you try to shake them off. The rest of the tracks are seriously hampered by an odd production perspective: part psychedelic, part schmaltz, part folk. France Gall's recordings from the same period sound similar and also don't hold up well. Far and away, Vartan's best recordings were her earliest, which were heavily influenced by beat and girl group trends.
P.S. The scans of the original LP covers used on these Japanese CD reissues aren't particularly clear.
P.P.S. One of the reviews below is actually of a different CD, "2.35 de bonheur." No Motown covers here.
Beautiful ballads and the Motown sound in French
Sylvie Vartan has a deep, very powerful voice, one of the best voices in contemporary music, which allows her to sing in many different styles. This CD contains French original beautiful ballads as Deux Mains, Par Amour Par Pitie, Un Enfant Sans Soleil, and some French versions of English songs which I enjoy very much: Donne Moi Ton Amour, a powerful version of Spencer Davies' Gimme Some Loving, Moi Je Dance (The Four Tops' Same Old Song) and other French versions of very well known Motown songs (Je N'Ai Pas Pus Resister - The Supremes' You Keep Me Hanging On ; Garde Moi Dans Ta Poche - The Four Tops' I Can't Help Myself), they are carefully produced and fully orchestrated. These facts, together with the charm of French language and the wonderful voice of Sylvie Vartan, make these catchy classic tunes sound specially attractive. Her approach is perhaps more pop than R&B, but she preserves the fresh freedom of the originals. Sylvie sounds completely R&B in a more recent CD ("Irresistiblement Sylvie"(1999)), in it she recorded in English a cover of Dusty Springfield 1969 (also 1994) smash hit Son Of A Preacher Man. Although I am generally more fond of uptempo songs, I must say that the last track Drole De Fille of "Sylvie Vartan-2'35 de Bonheur" is a very nice ballad, French version of Single Girl. The title track 2'35 De Bonheur, also a French original and a very sweet song, is very different from all the rest, with an air of old songs in The Mysstinguet style. The sound quality is excellent. It doesn't matter whether you understand French or not, you'll enjoy this CD.
