En route to my rendezvous with Vanessa Paradis in a chic Parisian hotel I spy several posters for the latest British film to play in France. I Give It a Year is a romcom about a newly married couple and their seemingly poor prospects for long-term wedded bliss. The film has been retitled Mariage à l’anglaise for the local market. Is this, I ask Paradis, the French idiom for a short marriage?
‘No, no,’ she laughs. ‘It’s not a common phrase. But you know what? You know how many things are called “French” in the world that are not French? French fries, French kiss – although I’d love to think that that is French,’ she twinkles.
There is no disputing the Frenchness of Vanessa Paradis, for all of her global fame in the realms of pop music, cinema and modelling. She became an international sensation in 1987 when, aged 14, her winsome pop song Joe le taxi was a worldwide hit (it reached number three in the UK).
Within a couple of years she was an award-winning actress too, taking home a César for her debut film role in Noce blanche (White Wedding). At 16 she worked for the first time with the fashion photographer Jean-Baptiste Mondino, a creative partnership that she maintains to this day.
While still in her teens she began modelling for Chanel, the start of a relationship that has lasted, on and off, for more than 20 years. Her first campaign was the memorable 1991 ad in which she was styled as a precious songbird on a perch to promote Coco perfume.
After teenage stardom her adult life was no gilded cage of effortless celebrity. Paradis continued to shoot films and make albums, undertook international concert tours – and raised a family with Johnny Depp, the actor whom she had met in the bar of the chic Hôtel Costes in Paris in 1998. (‘I saw those eyes, and boom! My life as a single man was done,’ Depp later recalled.)
They had two children together – Lily-Rose, now 14, and Jack, 11 – but broke up last summer. Now, aged 40 and having recently completed her first ever English-language film, Fading Gigolo (co-starring Woody Allen and directed by the actor John Turturro), she is returning to her true love. This month she releases her first album of new material in six years. Called Love Songs, it features a whopping 22 tracks.
Why, in these short-attention-span times, a double album?
‘Because I was so lucky, I guess, to receive such beautiful songs from different musicians, different artists,’ she says. ‘And I started to… what was it?’ She frowns, searching her memory. Locating the answer, she claps her hands. ‘Three years ago I did my Best of… album. And I was looking for an original song.’ Her French record label put out a call to writers for new songs suited to Paradis’ breathy, intimate singing voice. The offerings flooded in, so many that Paradis stockpiled them for future use. ‘Not just good songs, but grand songs,’ she says, her distinctive gap-toothed smile on full display. ‘And once you’re in the studio, you try them all. Most of them inspired us very, very much. So at the end, this double album imposed itself on me.’
Paradis likes it when ideas come ‘naturellement’, which was the case with the album’s size and its loose concept. ‘It’s not a theme, but once I got all the songs, they were all love songs,’ she says. ‘So the title of the album wasn’t so difficult.’
So she didn’t give the writers a brief to write her love songs?
‘No, no, no, no,’ she says rapidly. ‘But that’s what I love to sing the most anyway – love songs. And people love to hear love songs, to find themselves in love songs. It’s reassuring.’ Although, she adds with a laugh, ‘sometimes it’s not reassuring at all.’
Most of the songs are in French. But one of the standouts – The Dark, It Comes – was written by Carl Barât, formerly of the British indie band the Libertines. The album’s producer is a friend of Barât, and during recording told Paradis that Barât had a song he wanted to ‘propose’ to her.
Being ‘such a fan’ of his voice and songs, Paradis thought this was a ‘perfect, beautiful’ idea. The song is a duet between warring lovers; he has killed the ‘evil harlot’ with whom he has betrayed her. Barât and Paradis, however, have yet to meet; they recorded their vocals separately.
While Barât is based in London, ‘I live partly in Paris and partly in Los Angeles,’ Paradis says by way of explaining the scheduling problems. ‘But I want to see Carl’s eyes – I want to say thank you. It’s such a powerful song. Even though it’s a sad dispute, it’s a fun song to sing. It was very cinématographique. Do you mind if I smoke?’
Paradis pulls out a packet of Golden Virginia tobacco and some liquorice-flavoured cigarette papers. She may be an international superstar and an exalted fashion muse, but Vanessa Paradis appears very much a roll-her-own kind of woman. She has arrived at the hotel alone, fresh-faced and only fashionably demi-late (30 minutes). She is coolly, calmly stylish: grey boots, tight grey jeans, flowery shirt and a suit-style jacket. Natural and relaxed-looking, if she is wearing make-up, it is so simple as to be invisible.
The official announcement of Paradis and Depp’s split came last June. But rumours concerning the state of their relationship had swirled for some time – fed in part, it must be said, by both parties’ long-term refusal to discuss their relationship publicly.
