Crouçie d'où là
1995 studio album by Emilíana Torrini
Crouçie d'où là is the debut album by Icelandic singer-songwriter Emilíana Torrini. It was released in 1995 in Iceland by Japis records.[1] The album consists entirely of cover songs. The title of the record is a play on words. It is spelled as if it were a French phrase, but it is a homonym of the Icelandic word Krúsídúlla which means cutie pie. The songs include "Crazy Love" written by Van Morrison, "I" written by the Japanese group Pizzicato Five and "Miss Celie's Blues" (from the movie The Color Purple).
Crouçie d'où là is currently out of print. When Emilíana was asked by a French fansite in a 2008 interview, she responded:
"No I really don't want it to. I have a funny relationship with that record and I guess I have disowned it in someways. My mum proudly took it out of the shelves at Christmas and played it to my boyfriend. I hadn't heard it since I recorded it. It was too painful... I didn't like it. She laughed. He blushed."[2]
