"Pure, Lara Fabian's third album, was first issued in 1996. The lush production beautifully reproduces Lara's silky smooth voice. The songs showcase her impressive vocal range, from the haunting sound of 'Ici' to the dramatic heights of 'Perdere l'amore', a stunning live performance of an Italian song. The highlights of Pure are provided by the stirring 'J'ai zappé' and the African sounding 'Humana'. The album includes five highly successful singles, comprising the excellent album opener 'Tout' as well as 'Si tu m'aimes', 'La différence', 'Humana' and 'Je t'aime'. Pure is the ideal start to a collection of Lara's French material."
Excellent, mais je desire Lara et Celine chanter ensemble

"Absolutely beautiful French music and signing. No more need be said about Lara's simply romantic, sensual voice. I can't understand why we don't hear more about this la Belgique superstar?"
This Album is a Joy. To this day, it's magic has not lost

"its luster. I still play this CD again and again. I still sing her Masterpieces in karaoke again and again. "Perdere L'amore" is so powerful, stirring and engaging that it made me learn some Italian to be able to sing it for Karaoke. My blood flows in my veins full of life. You can feel the essence of Italy in this song. You MUST see her perform this song in the PBS special, she is a world-class suave velvety songstress of a belter."Si tu M'aimes" gives me rushes to my head when I perform it to American crowds and especially to European who vacation to the States during the months of July and August."Ici" is a haunting journey on my way to my roots. It is simply a mega heavy weight of a ballad. It is a moving and wrenching piece of work.This Album means so much to me. I hope that it will bring you as much satisfaction and joy as it has for me. No, if you have a blood pulse, YOU WILL appreciate this World-Class performer for who she is. I guarantee it. If you have a pulse, if you are not emotionally dead, if you have a heart, if you breathe... then it will force a reaction of wonderment for you."
