French-Canadian singer/songwriter Lara Fabian is the consummate adult-appealing newcomer. With four French-language albums already under her belt and worldwide sales surpassing 6 million, she hits U.S. shores with the aplomb -- and musical prowess -- of an established superstar. Her self-titled debut serves up the very essence of heart through 13 mature songs that grow with each successive play, ranging from guttural epic ballads to dance-ready throwdowns. But when the dishes are cleared, it's all about the voice here, a vehicle through which life's essence emits on love, in pain, and with hope. There's not a miss to be found on the album, from the self-empowering "I Am Who I Am" and heart-wrenching "Broken Vow" to current uptempo single "I Will Love Again" and the album's finest moment, "Adagio," performed in both English and Italian. "Lara Fabian" is a cleanser for the soul. Wholly mesmerizing.
