From the back cover: She must be doing something right.
For whatever Francoise Hardy turns her hand or her voice to seems to come up with "success" written all over it.
This album is a case in point.
You may marvel at the Hardy voice, so fresh and saucy... so soft and warm... so just right for the songs...
But as you marvel about the singing Miss Hardy, pause for a second to marvel at the writing Miss Hardy. For each of the even dozen songs in this sparkling album was written by her! And they span a wide range, indeed. From the triplets-and-backbeat of "ET MEME" to the snappish "JE VEUX QU'IL REVIENNE." Clear out to the old-fashioned, heart- throbby "L'AMOUR S'EN VA."
She sings...she writes...
And she acts! (Francoise Hardy is the wild one who swings out of a Riviera discotheque to follow the auto racer in the film "Grand Prix.") A glance at the cover photo indicates clearly that she can draw admiring glances wherever she goes. But Francoise who came to fame while studying at The Sorbonne is more than a good-looking, musically-talented girl who makes movies.
In the last analysis, you've got to listen to the lass. That's where it really happens. She makes magic because you can't see how beautiful she looks or how professionally she per- forms. You just hear her... and her songs.
And that's when she does something so right.
Take a perky young French miss who captures the brass of the young in her songs, adds a dash of the bittersweet and the romantic, then sings it all with the style of a true original ...and you have Francoise Hardy.
She must be doing something right.
Listen...
La Nuit Est Sur La Ville
Et Meme
Qui Aime-T-II Vraiment
Tu N'as Qu'un Mot a Dire
Saurais-Je
Je Veux Qu'II Revienne
Dans Le Monde Entier
Tu Ne Dis Rien
Comme Tant D'Autres
Je Pense A Lui
L'Amour S'en Va
Bien Longtemps
