Bliss (Vanessa Paradis album)

Bliss is a 2000 French Pop Album by singer Vanessa Paradis. The album proved to be one of her least successful efforts, with none of the singles reaching the No. 1 spot in France as anticipated. However, it is unique for the primary reason that American actor Johnny Depp played on some of the tracks. It also marks the recording debut of Lily Rose Depp, Johnny and Vanessa's daughter, as she features on one track. Despite a weak chart run, Bliss spawned a few minor hit singles. The primary one was "Pourtant", which is often regarded as Paradis' most poetic work. Singles "Commando" and "Que Fait la Vie" were the other single releases off this album. Fans also note Bliss for its' extensive artwork, all of which was hand-painted by Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp, with use of watercolors. The lyrics are included with the booklet. The album topped the French album charts and remained on the charts for 49 weeks [1]
