The Greatest Music
Released: 2005
La Femme chocolat
by Olivia Ruiz
The 3259th greatest album of all time
La Femme chocolat is Olivia Ruiz's second studio album, released in 2005. The record mixes chanson française songwriting with pop and ballad sensibilities, pairing Ruiz's theatrical, expressive vocals with playful arrangements and a variety of acoustic and rhythmic textures. Songs move between intimate, narrative ballads and more uptempo, danceable numbers, with touches of Latin and cabaret-flavored instrumentation that give the album a colorful, story-driven character.
