Pretty tunes capture perfect moments on singer/songwriter Amélie Veille's inspired fourth album. Wide-eyed ode "Quand tu souris" will seduce you with its innocence as Veille sings in a giddy whisper, finding metaphors galore for the joys of a lover's smile. Just try resisting the infectious hook of "Je prends tout de toi," a wistful folk-pop hymn to accepting every crazy thing about the one you're with. And get down to the disco-tinged "Alors chante," as Veille gently coos words of wisdom about singing life's troubles away. Now those are words to live by.
