Carla Bruni On Sarkozy: “You Are My Junk, More Deadly Than Afghan Heroin”
France’s First Lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, sings of being a “child” despite “my thirty lovers” and compares President Nicolas Sarkozy to class A drugs in her long-awaited new album.
Le Figaro newspaper was given a sneak preview of Comme si de rien n’était (As if Nothing Happened), her first album since marrying Mr Sarkozy, ahead of its official release on 21 July.
In lyrics playfully mocking her reputation as a man-eater, the Italian former model sings: “I am a child. Despite my forty years. Despite my thirty lovers. A child.”
The First Lady, who has dated in the past Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, Donald Trump and Kevin Costner, once infamously claimed to find monogamy “boring”.
Among the 14 tracks is a song called Ma Came (My Junk) – equating her intense love to a class A drug. Written two years ago, before she met Mr Sarkozy, it is nevertheless dedicated to her husband.
“You are my junk. More deadly than Afghan heroin. More dangerous than Colombian white (powder),” she sings, adding: “My guy, I roll him up and smoke him.”
The first single to be released from the album will be called L’Amoureuse (Woman in Love), although it is unclear whether this refers to her whirlwind romance with Mr Sarkozy, which began last November before they were married on February 2.
It also includes the song Péché d’Envie (Sinned by Desire), co-written with philosopher Raphael Enthoven, the father of her son.
The only cover is of the ballad You Belong To Me, which contains clear references to exotic places she and the French President visited last year, notably the Pyramids, where they were photographed strolling hand in hand.
The former model’s first album Quelqu’un M’a Dit (Someone Told Me) released in 2002 was a hit with 1.2 million copies sold in France and 800,000 abroad.
