French Touch brings together a delightful trove of sentimental pop favourites; all reimagined in Carla's intimate and moving acoustic style and chosen for their personal significance - in her own words, "songs that inspire the French term for love at first sight - a 'coup de foudre.'" Coup de foudre also describes what happened when Bruni met producer, composer, and musician David Foster after an L.A. performance in 2014. Foster volunteered to produce Carla's next record on the spot, and the two began a transatlantic sharing of songs, shaped during twin recording sessions in Paris and L.A.
French Touch is warm, familiar, and inimitably Carla. Richly melodic, warm yet minimal, and often slyly playful - all the arrangements in this collection have been given a French Touch, while still incorporating the universal appeal of their originals, albeit with a sultry flavor all their own.
