'Those Dancing Days' Have Just Begun
Posted by reeltalk on 02/11/08 at 02:23 PM

When you hear Carla Bruni and music in the same sentence, I'm sure Mick Jagger (in reference to her past relationship with the musician) is the next name you anticipate to finish that sequence. However, the recently wed, Carla Bruni Sarkozy is actually head-over-heels with not just the president of France, but music and American literature as well.

Her album, "No Promises,” which was released in Europe and topped the pop charts in France, will be hitting the states on February 19th. The model/pop star's album is a new take on poetry which draws from artists like Dorothy Parker, William Butler Yeats, Emily Dickinson, Christina Rosetti, Walter de la Mare, and W.H. Auden.

With French films being anything but a stranger to Americans especially with the recent nomination of Marion Cotillard for best actress in "La Vie en Rose," you might see this model/musician/pop star/American Lit connoisseur/First Lady of France possibly picking up a movie script any time soon, and becoming a part of the entertainment business in more ways than one. What do you think?

Listen to France’s First Lady croon Yeats in her seductively smoky voice with her first single “Those Dancing Days are Gone.”
