Life For Rent

Description

Who would have thought that this pretty blonde would sell nearly 15 million copies of her first album, "No Angel," when she joined her brother's group, the renowned DJ producer Rollo, in Faithless in the mid-90s? Gifted with a lovely voice and a strong desire to succeed at all costs, the Londoner also did not hesitate, shortly after, to let Eminem sample "Thank You," taken from "No Angel," which the rapper recycled in the chorus of his hit "Stan." The rest is almost already history.

In 2003, she who became the darling of FM radio thanks to a very pleasantly crafted pop, making the more or less direct competition pale, while not hesitating to perform as part of the Lilith Fair tour, returned with a more laid-back and personal album than the previous one, still produced by her prodigy brother. At first listen, "White Flag," already on the radio, and "Life For Rent" stand out from this coherent set, but in practice, it is the enchanting "See When You're 40" or "Who Makes You Feel" that take the prize.
