It genuinely doesn't get any better than this. I managed to pick up a copy of this on cd when in Switzerland earlier this year, and it has only been out of my cd player twice - both times simply so I could hold it to my chest. Half of it is Vanessa sining some indecipherable french sloppy stuff, in her purring, lilting, sexy voice, and the other half is the Lenny Kravitz material, which can never fail. Some of the guitar solos are slightly different from that on the LK album, and one of the song endings is very dubious, but she is french, and the band are just session musicians, so you have to give them some scope to blunder. The sleeve artwork is all pictures of the dear girl, and reminds us quite well how Johnny Depp has done so well. There is nothing bad about this cd, other than it has made me look a fool several times for trying to defend Joe Le Taxi. Seriously - she does it really well on this. Buy it - you know you'll like it. It's a little bit of her, that you too can tuck under your pillow at night.
Regards.
