Tracks :


1984 ... a first quality title which already shows more than certain potential. It remains to be seen what the young singer will do with this famous potential in the years to come ...



1985 ... she confirms a year later that there is every reason to continue believing in her. But still no classified title for the moment ...



1985 ... it will just be necessary that she finds the little + which could make all the difference and especially to set her apart from the mass ...



1986 ... it still does not want to take off despite all her efforts. She is far from demerit, it is clear but faced with a competition that does not give any freebie, she really struggles to stand out from ordinary people ...



1988 ... nothing helps, for the big takeoff, it will not be for this decade. We will therefore have to wait the following decade to hope for a miracle ...



1988 ... in the meantime that does not prevent her from expanding her discography and there is really quality in all of this, it is clear ...



1988 ... certainly some titles are a notch below the general average but the whole is still good from the start ...



1991 ... and the miracle, here it is ! A single title, THIS title, was enough to see her finally rewarded for all her efforts of the previous decade and obtain her direct ticket to posterity. A well-deserved reward. HU-GE !



1991 ... she delivers here a title which literally floats in the air and which shows that she is good in all the fields. Unfortunately, in a decade where everything is moving at the speed of light, this kind of title can hardly find a place in the sun ...



1991 ... a year 1991 decidedly oriented on the 'emotions' register' with this new title with more than certain quality ...



1991 ... a beginning of the 90s which saw her reach the culmination of her career with a series of particularly successful titles ...



1991 ... paradoxically despite all these titles with a certain quality she will not succeed in stabilizing at the top of the scale. Hard law of the trade ...



1991 ... she will have reached the top of the mountain with 'J'ai des doutes' but she has already started to come back down. And nothing and no one will be able to do nothing now ...



1992 ... unfortunately she failed to capitalize on the enormous suction effect generated by "J'ai des doutes" and slowly but surely falls back to the level of notoriety that she had in the 80s...



1992 ... and yet it is not for lack of trying and putting good will into it. But the world of song is ruthless and we disappear as quickly as we appeared. Hard law of the trade ...



1993 ... an attraction for Asia omnipresent in its titles and this since the beginning. A hint of exoticism always welcome but which unfortunately will not change the situation ...



1993 ... Sara Mandiano or Mylène Farmer ? The resemblance is disturbing, as much in the way of singing as in the melody. A title which would have been a hit with Mylène then at the height of her glory and which will go unnoticed with Sara at the bottom of the wave. Destiny when you hold us, no need to fight ...



1993 ... a year 1993 which will be her last at the high level and yes already. A career that will have spread over a little less than ten years ...



1993 ... a short career certainly but which will still allow her to show that she had her place at the top of the poster ...



1993 ... she will have repeatedly demonstrated that she had talent to resell to do beautiful things. Fate will unfortunately have shorted the great adventure ...



1993 ... we would have sincerely preferred that she still continues a little adventure but the competition will have had the upper hand over her in the end ...



1993 ... after she will still have managed to produce 3 albums in the end which is not nothing. Three albums with more than certain interest ...



2007 ... while we thought we no longer see her again she will make her return certainly in a masked way but still with this group Shaaks. She will have at least tried to come back ...
