Personnel: Brigitte Bardot (vocals). Modern audiences, especially outside her native France, associate Brigitte Bardot's musical career with her late 1960s collaborations with her then-boyfriend Serge Gainsbourg, including such over-the-top psychedelique classics like "Bonnie and Clyde," "Contact," and the still shocking original version of "Je T'Aime (Moi Non Plus)," which went unreleased for years because of the near-pornographic intensity of Bardot's moans and whispers. But when BRIGITTE BARDOT SINGS, her debut album, was released in 1963, the blonde sex kitten was just another French actress making a lightweight pop album, as was the fashion at the time. The bubblegum sweetness of these 12 songs is endearing in its flirty playfulness, especially considering Bardot's knack for making a song as wide-eyed and innocent as "Les Amis de la Musique" sound sexy. This reissue features remastered sound.
