麻豆约拍

Carla Bruni returns to 麻豆约拍 Radio 2 with C'est La Vie: a new series where she plays her favourite songs in French and English on the subjects of love, sadness and joy.

France's former First Lady recently released French Touch, her fifth studio album, featuring her interpretations of songs by Depeche Mode, The Clash and AC/DC.

The Italian-born, globetrotting model's music career began in 2002, when she released "Quelqu'un M'a Dit" (in English, "Someone Told Me"), a surprise hit, which sold two million copies in Europe.

Recorded in Carla's hometown of Paris, in the final show of the series, Joie de Vivre, she recalls her disco years at the Bus Palladium nightclub in Paris. She talks about her return to fashion's frontline in 2017, appearing alongside fellow supermodels Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford and Helena Christensen at Versace's Spring show at Milan Fashion Week. We also hear of her unlikely love of Heavy Metal music after appearing alongside Metallica on Later with Jools Holland.

Tonight's show includes an eclectic selection of songs from Jimi Hendrix, Blondie, Charles Aznavour, Edith Piaf and Stromae.
