" Zaz is a French pop singer with a Gypsy jazz style who made her chart-topping eponymous album debut in 2010.

Born Isabelle Geffroy on May 1, 1980, in Tours, Indre-et-Loire, France, she performed as a singer for much of her life.

Her vocals are often compared to those of Edith Piaf. In association with the Play On label, she made her full-length

solo debut with the self-titled album Zaz in 2010. Featuring a few songs written and produced by Raphael, the album was well

received by critics and spawned..."

"Album Review

The self-titled album debut of Zaz is one of the more exciting French revelations of 2010,

boasting a refreshingly unique gypsy jazz style as well as plenty of contemporary pop appeal.

Thirty years old at the time of her solo album debut, Zaz is a seasoned vocalist with years of

experience as a performer, and her vocals are indeed a wonder to behold. She's a talented jazz

vocalist, for sure, and her resemblance to Edith Piaf is striking. In addition to her singing,

Zaz is a gifted songwriter credited with either writing or co-writing six of the 11 songs on her

debut album. French pop star Raphael is credited with writing three of the remaining songs,

"La Fee," "Port Coton," and "Eblouie par la Nuit," and Kerredine Soltani is credited with

writing the standout lead single, "Je Veux." Moreover, Raphael is credited with producing

four songs on the album: the three that he wrote, plus "Trop Sensible." Alban Sautour,

Germain Guyot, and Soltani are also credited with production, and their work is commendable.

The gypsy jazz style of the album is tastefully produced, never sounding retro or cliched and,

more importantly, never taking anything away from Zaz herself. Moreover, the contributions of

four different producers makes for a diverse sound, with the Raphael songs in particular standing

out from the others. Clocking in at 11 songs in 39 minutes, Zaz doesn't overstay its welcome and

leaves you craving more after the awe-inspiring closing track by Raphael, "Eblouie par la Nuit."

Impressive from all standpoints, Zaz is a strong contender for French pop revelation of the year.
