Arielle Dombasle is the wife of a rich French philosopher. She's been in films, and her voice is classically trained, though she doesn't sing like a diva who's slumming. She grew up in Mexico, where her grandfather was ambassador - her albums always include a latin number or two. As is usual with French singers, she sings sparingly and subtly - far, thank goodness, from American Idol blasting mode... charming and most enjoyable.
