vanessa bruno saves ears and trees

June 13, 2008  10:56 am

First she brought us the must-have sequin tote, now she’s delivering what may be the soundtrack of the summer. Next week, Vanessa Bruno releases “Plant a Tree,” a compilation of vintage pop songs that intersperses gems from Bobbie Gentry and Chet Baker with selections from more obscure artists,
such as Sybille Baier’s “Tonight,” which the folk singer recorded for her own pleasure in the seventies. “I was having dinner with my friend Thomas Gizolme and the music was horrible, louder than our voices,” Bruno explains. “We were longing for silence and I asked him to help me create a soundtrack
that I’d like to listen to in my room, in a car, on vacation, on a beach, in the country or in this damned restaurant.” “Plant a Tree” will not only soothe the savage brow, but help to save the planet: For each CD sold, Planète Urgence will plant five trees. For more information, see
