Good CD but not the best of Zazie

"This last CD from Zazie is very good but does not compare with her previous one : ZEN. Buy Zen before Made in love. I would describe "Made in love" as being a very cosmopolite and modern content CD. It most of all denunciates racism, women problems and the rapid technological development of computers while combining good melodies and rocking rhythms. What I love about her style is that she has very great lyrics (which is rare today), using plays on words on different themes. She is both traditional and modern in some ways. Moreover, I like when she uses music from another song and by adding new lyrics and tune, transforms it into a new song (she's good at that). "Femmes tefales" was previously "Heures hindoues" from Daho. In "Zen", she did the same with track 5 "je t'aime bien", the music being from "je suis venu te dire que je m'en vais" (hommage to Gainsbourg). Since this CD is mainly french, it would be hard for english native speakers to appreciate it in its whole integrity (content most of all). Anyway, give it a try cos' her music goes beyond international barriers and is very representative of what is the French music trend today. Zazie, continuez ainsi car j'apprecie beaucoup votre musique. Une fan."

BEST FRENCH CD!!

"I bought this cd on a whim. I had heard Zazie's title song for the "Ma Vie en Rose" film and couldn't get the tune out of my head! So I decided to get this album as a result and I couldn't be happier! She is fantastc! All her cds come w/ lyrics and she sings slowly enough so those just learning French can easily follow along (This ia a great way to improve your French vocabulary!). Since then, I have bought all her cds and love them all. I highly recommend this cd as a Zazie primer."

The best of Zazie! Intelligent AND good music!

"Zazie knows how to say things and this album really proves it. Her texts are so toughtful that it is impossible to not love them. Moreover, her music is brilliant and interesting. I loved her first two albums and this third one is ... amazing. If you want to discover Zazie, Made in love is the album you need!"
