Covering a wide variety of all-time classics, Clemetine's Avec is mainstream jazz at its best: melodic, easy-listening tracks with infectious rhythms.
Clementine's vocals are sweet, gentle and sexy. Her French background lends her flawless bossa nova sound a romantic flavour that is refreshing.
The album opener is a French version of Chuck E's In Love. Her breezy and smooth voice sets a chirpy mood for the rest of the album.
Clementine gives Que Sera Sera a jazzy touch, but without losing any of its original melancholic flavour.
There are also standard Latin numbers such as Garota De Ipanema and Caminhos Cruzados.
Lady Wants To Know is a refreshingly tender version of Michael Franks' classic, while Clementine's jazzy rendition of Djavan's Sina is an album highlight.
