This 2016 self-titled release from Patricia Kaas features the singer reinterpreting classic songs from her back catalog. The album presents her signature dramatic vocal style in a more stripped-down, intimate setting.
- The album was produced by Jean-Philippe Illanes and the London Metropolitan Orchestra, conducted by Nic Raine.
- It features re-recordings of 13 of Kaas's most famous songs, including "Mademoiselle chante le blues" and "Mon mec à moi".
- The release was accompanied by a concert tour, "Back to the Roots", which also revisited her earlier material.
Patricia Kaas is a French singer whose dramatic, torch-song style has earned her comparisons to Édith Piaf. She rose to international fame in the late 1980s and early 1990s with a string of hit albums. This 2016 release, her self-titled tenth studio album, arrived after a period of relative quiet following a tour supporting her previous record, "Tako Tsubo".
