Carla Bruni ‘s new album will be released on October 9 via Universal/Wrasse. Her first original album in seven years, the eponymous record is a reflection of Carla Bruni, a wholehearted embracing of her true self.
Guitar, piano, a bit of foot-tapping and fragments of melody are the foundation of all the tracks, recorded behind closed doors with Albin de la Simone, who produced the entire album. For his first collaboration with Carla Bruni, the renowned multi-instrumentalist was determined to give her new songs the most delicate treatment, a production decision that was planned well before anyone set foot in the recording studio.
The music of the album bears witness to a unique temperament and a strong sense of the present moment. Always sensitive, with a desire for a calm simplicity, there is a disarming allure about Bruni’s songs: the intimacy, the simplicity, in a spirit of freedom, friendship and love.
