In 2007, the girls take over the singer-songwriting chart throne with some insightful pieces and some original renditions.
- Rehab / Back to Black, Amy Winehouse (UK)
Amy’s voice is addictive, the songs are beautifully penned, the music is memorable and the whole lot is contemporary with a vintage taste of good old. – Tiki
- Babylon, United Flavour (Spain, Ivory Coast, Czech Republic)
Reminiscent of the good times of Black Eye Peas’ Where is the love, Babylon will make you dance, think, enjoy music and life. A great band fronted by the “charismatic Spanish front-woman, Sista Carmen.” - Le festin, Camille / Michael Giacchino (France, USA)
The feast (translation of the track title) is truly a track to savour what with the amazing vocals of French singer-songwriter Camille chanelling and vibrating between a young Edith Piaf and a lighter Nana Mouskouri, teaming up with Michael Giacchino who happily lends his brilliant songwriting to this treat. – Tiki - Alive, Sa Dingding (China)
- With her unique freshness, distinctive vocals and original fusion of Western electronica and Far Easter music, Sa Dingding easily cast a spell on her listeners with her 2007 debut album especially with tracks like Alive.
- Lady weeping at the crossroads, Carla Bruni
Bruni’s take on English poetry might not have pleased the specialists but there is no denying the talent in the music craft for at least some of the songs that make up this collection. To be fair to her, she did entitle her album “No Promises”. - Seven-Eleven / El Coche Amarillo 23 , Moishe’s Bagel (Scotland)
Salt is the brilliant 2007 release from Moishe’s Bagel with jems such as El Coche Amarillo 23 and Seven-Eleven showcasing a wonderful mix of musical sensitivity and musical craft. - Luka, Suzanne Vega
The best of Suzanne Vega reminds us of the talents of this US singer-songwriter, in terms of storytelling and overall songcraft. - You give me something, James Morrison
- Wish I was a bird, Jesse Harris
- Coat of many colours, Dolly Parton
The only reason why this exquisite song is this low in the charts is that it comes from a best of, in fact the very best of Dolly Parton and therefore it is almost unfair to the new songs to top this with songs that have had their time, yet… - Les Femmes (Arabe / Hébreu), Amine and Noa
Arabic and Hebrew unite for this - Stephan Eicher (Switzerland)
- Seal
Seal’s hits came out in 2007 - Mention of another album hommage to Georges Brassens by Cameroonian singer-songwriter Kristo Numpuby
