Our Take

EDITH PIAF "Edith Piaf in British English"

Edith Piaf, the legendary French songstress, gets a quirky British twist in this delightful new album "Edith Piaf in British English." As if the original couldn't get any quirkier, the British translations of Piaf's iconic songs add an extra layer of charm and wit to the tracks.

From the moment you hit play, you'll be transported to a whimsical world where "La Vie en Rose" becomes "Life in Pink" and "Non, je ne regrette rien" turns into "No, I don't regret anything." The juxtaposition of Piaf's emotive vocals with the cheeky British translations creates a delightful fusion of old-world charm and modern sensibility.

The arrangements on the album are full of surprises, mixing traditional French cabaret sounds with a British twist, including some unexpected instruments like the ukulele and kazoo. It's a bold choice that pays off, adding a playful energy to Piaf's timeless classics.

Overall, "Edith Piaf in British English" is a fun and refreshing take on the music of the iconic French chanteuse. Whether you're a die-hard fan of Piaf or just looking for something a little different to spice up your music collection, this album is sure to put a smile on your face and a skip in your step. Cheers to the quirkiness of Edith Piaf in British English!
