Supermodels

Not long til Harvester time but in the meantime..
 
has anyone heard an album just out by Carla Bruni (yes, the same!) called, 
i think 'No promises' ? 
 
There was a review in the Observer music magazine yesterday which was 
quite supportive of what appears to be the former supermodel's foray into 
Aeroplanes territory. She's apparently set to music a whole bunch of 20th 
and 19th century poetry including some of gerard's faves - auden - plus 
yeats, emily dickinson and christina rossetti etc. It sounds not 
dissimilar 'LIT' if not the necessarily the full-fat band stuff
 
i thought it sounded quite interesting and maybe worth a listen but didn't 
want to risk a purchase of another vanity project by a former clotheshorse 
in case it turned out to be pish. If anyone's got it i'd happily swap for 
my copy of Naomi Campbell's novel. 
 
Sadly there was no mention in the review of any unhinged dancing or 
hurdy-gurdy. It did say that poetry set to music can sometimes sound 
'horribly mannered' though we all know that's not the case, don't we?
