Weekly charts Weekly chart performance for Zaz Chart (2010–2012)Ĭanadian Albums ( Nielsen SoundScan) Les Inrockuptibles gave a negative review of the album and of the lead single. More critical, Valérie Lehoux of Télérama argued that the singer has "unquestionably quite unusual vocal abilities", but considered her album as "too fragmented to be easily likeable, as we must navigate without a sextant from rather old-fashioned French songs to the free variety, to a more or less danceable neo- R&B." She added that the singer has demonstrated her singing abilities but her songs soon lose their attraction and collapse under "too cumbersome and too expected" references.
L'Humanité praised a "very direct and friendly link" between the young singer and her public, saying: "Welcome to Zaz's world of good mood". She reflects the mindset of youth, a bit tortured but full of hope". Le Parisien believed that her "songs with realistic lyrics marked the spirits.
Le Nouvel Observateur deemed "Je veux" a song with " anti-consumerism" lyrics that "immediately catches the ear". Libération stated that her single " Je veux" is "between 'J'veux du soleil' by Au P'tit Bonheur and the competitive 'P'tit kawa' by Karimouche-other examples of good-natured variety supercharged for optimism." The paper also wrote that "her natural sound-she is capable of laughing in the middle of a song-makes up for a rather simple technique, in the spirit of a jazz world not too concerned with such idiosyncrasies".
The editors admitted they were moved by "her small skinned side" and praised "the urban blues of "Trop sensible", or the upsetting "Port Coton" or songs with realistic accents such as "Ni oui ni non" or "Dans ma rue"". Le Figaro said the singer's voice "upsets and wins over". Zaz received mixed reviews from musical critics. Zaz co-wrote six songs on the album, and French singer Raphaël Haroche wrote three songs.Ĭritical reception Professional ratings Review scores The album itself was a commercial success, reaching topping the charts in Francophone countries.
