Ambitious and sensual

jon sieruga | Redlands, CA USA | 12/09/2002

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Claudine's voice is not much different than that of Brazilian songbird Astrud Gilberto's--they both are playfully sexual, sensually melodramatic and their English is a bit affected by their accents. But French-born Claudine gained ground by apparently seeking out her own song material, finding what was comfortable for her and putting her signature on it. Sure, her version of "Long, Long Time" isn't as powerful as Linda Ronstadt's, but give her a break. She invests a lot of personality in her music and is often stunning while doing so. The softly erotic cover shots also show Claudine was becoming less inhibited in real life, which eventually led to some major trouble. Forget about that while listening, and you'll find a ripe and real talent. B+"
