You hang on every word and every note as the songs draw you into their world and the story unfolds before your eyes. Her French is so exquisite, it\u2019s hard to believe she\u2019s been speaking the language for less than five years. After her last tour, Barber enrolled in a French immersion course before recording <em>Chansons<\/em>. There\u2019s a nice flow to the album even as the tempo, mood, and subject change from slow and melancholy (<a href=\"http:\/\/songs.to\/#!pl=5feb13376f5cec70ce48037516204de265d8ecf0\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cMelancolie\u201d<\/a>) to breathy and sweeping (\u201cLa Javanaise\u201d) to playful and bright (\u201cSous le Ciel de Paris\u201d). \u00a0The latter was a hit in 1954 for Edith Piaf, who Barber cites as a major inspiration, and the closing song \u201cAdieu Foulards\u201d dates back to the 1700s. \u00a0<em>Chansons<\/em> is authentic, delightful, and leaves you wanting more.
