Born in Italy and raised in Paris, Carla Bruni became one of the world's top models before she was 20 years old. Her musical debut, QUELQU'UN M'A DIT, showed she also had a penchant for sultry singer-songwriter fare in the classic French pop style. NO PROMISES, Bruni's sophomore effort, mines similar territory, but takes its lyrics from the works of famous poets such as W.H. Auden, Emily Dickinson, and William Butler Yeats. The music is soft, rhythmic, and intimate, driven by acoustic guitar, and the whisper-sung words add to the French café-style ambience.
