Voila

Belinda Carlisle

A lush, accordion-heavy collection of French chanson classics. Carlisle trades California sunshine for Parisian rain in a sophisticated, orchestral departure.

Belinda Carlisle ditches the 80s synths for a beret and an accordion, and it actually sounds incredible.

A sophisticated and slightly melancholic embrace of Parisian romance and nostalgia.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The dramatic accordion swell that opens Sous le ciel de Paris, immediately transporting the listener to a Seine riverbank.

Carlisle's signature rapid vibrato stretching out over the melancholic piano chords of Ne me quitte pas.

The unexpected rhythmic drive and playful vocal interplay during the cover of Bonnie et Clyde.
