CARLA BRUNI
Imagine: you’ve dreamt of being a singer from childhood, but instead you unexpectedly become a catwalk sensation at the age of nineteen. You become a multi-millionairess a few years later; your face featured on two hundred and fifty magazine covers. You never need to work again. Stifled by what you see as the lack of creativity in the modelling business, you ditch your career. Finally, able to concentrate on childhood singing ambitions, you make your recording debut in 2002 with album Quelqu'un M'a Dit (Someone told me). Despite starting off as a slow burner, the record eventually becomes a huge success, selling in excess of two million copies to date. Three more albums later, your music career’s gathering pace, and the man in your life becomes the president of France. Once again, your music has to go on hold. Well after her first lady role, Carla Bruni is clearly delighted to have her new album, French Touch, about to hit the streets.
