Gogi Grant - Bonjour Tristesse
Review by Scott Bowen
Bonjour Tristesse, the 1958 album by Gogi Grant, showcases the singer's impressive range and emotional depth. From the opening track, "Bonjour Tristesse," to the closing number, "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair," Grant delivers each song with a sincerity and passion that is both captivating and heart-wrenching.
Grant's voice is rich and full-bodied, and she effortlessly transitions between upbeat numbers like "The More I See You" and slower ballads like "You're My Thrill." Her rendition of the classic "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" is particularly impressive, with Grant's voice soaring and dipping in all the right places.
The album's production is also noteworthy, with lush arrangements and a full orchestra backing Grant's vocals. The instrumentation adds depth and complexity to each song, without overpowering Grant's voice.
