Raconte-moi... is a 2010 album by jazz singer Stacey Kent. This was Kent's first album recorded in the French language and featured mostly songs by French writers as well as songs from the Great American Songbook and Bossa Nova catalogue.[1]

On the Billboard charts Raconte-moi featured in the European Top 100 Albums and the top French Albums and reached 13 on the Jazz Albums chart.[2]

Reception[]

Michael G. Nastos reviewed the album for AllMusic and wrote that "...Kent here fancies herself as a modern-day Edith Piaf, with a very low-key, late-night, romantic approach. Her thin, wispy voice rides very much under the radar of these selections...Harvey's pristine piano is the telling factor on how this music inspires Kent to dig deep into her soul without pulling in demons or being extroverted. ...it is heartfelt and purely soulful no matter the lyrics or language."[1]
