Georgie Viennet's album Paris Canaille is a delightful collection of French chansons and musettes that capture the romance and nostalgia of the City of Light. From the opening track "La Vie en Rose" to the closing number "Sous le Ciel de Paris," Viennet's velvety voice and effortless phrasing transport listeners to the streets of Montmartre and the banks of the Seine.
The arrangements, featuring accordion, guitar, and violin, evoke the sound of the traditional French cabaret, while Viennet's interpretations bring a fresh energy and passion to these timeless classics. Highlights include the wistful "Les Feuilles Mortes," the jaunty "C'est Si Bon," and the bittersweet "La Foule."
