My Addiction

| by Melissa B | category: Music

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy makes Angelina Jolie look like a choir girl. With lovers that span the gamut—rock stars, actors, philosophers, socialists, married men, her lover’s son (Mon Dieu!), and now, world leaders—nothing is off limits for this minx. Nonplussed and unapologetic about her trysts, she has been quoted as saying, “I’m monogamous occasionally, but I prefer polygamy and polyandry. Love lasts a long time, but burning desire, two to three weeks.” Those are big words from someone who’s married to the president of France.

The one thing that has remained constant in Carla’s life is her music. In a world of albums from Paris Hilton and Heidi Montag, it normally would be hard to take Carla Bruni’s music seriously. However, unlike the former, homegirl’s got skills. And for someone who’s so uninhibited, her music is suprisingly folky and raw. She has described her songs as “lullabies which envelop you like a caress,” and I can’t argue with her.

Carla’s third album, Comme si de rien n’était (As If Nothing Had Happened) hits the shelves on Tues, July 15, and you can catch it online for free right now. I’ll be listening to it just to get a load of the much-hyped ode to her husband, Nicolas Sarkosy, Ma Came (translation, ahem, “my junk”). If this album is anything like her last, I might have my own Ma Came.
