"Vanessa Paradis" is the self-titled third album and English debut by popular French singer Vanessa Paradis. It was released in 1992 and contains the singles "Be My Baby" and "Sunday Mondays".

Background and writing

Lenny Kravitz, who was dating Paradis at the time, produced and co-wrote the album. Japanese Editions of this album contain the extra track entitled "Gotta Have It", which is a tribute track to Lenny Kravitz, written by Kravitz himself. This was omitted on the U.S. release of the album.

Paradis participated in the writing and producing process for the first time in her career on this album.

Critical reception

The album was one of her most successful and most critically acclaimed, proving to be both popular in France and the UK. It spawned several successful singles, including one of her most recognisable songs "Be My Baby". The album is also noted for being the first time Paradis took creative control over her music.

The album is noted for being extremely innovative in its use of instruments, and for its replication of the 1960s soundscape on virtually every song. One of the biggest hits from the CD was "Sunday Mondays". Vanessa's own personal favorite off this record was Track 10, "Just as Long as you are There", which she often performs live in concerts. A One Hour Television Special on the Making of the Album was recorded in 1992 but was never aired. The album is now officially out of print and can be found at various collector stores, and on EBay.
