The album received mixed reviews in the press.

More critical, Valérie Lehoux of ''[[Télérama]]'' argued that the singer has "unquestionably the vocal abilities quite unusual", but considered her album as "too broke up so we can cling, sailing without a sextant from a little dusty French song to the free variety, to a more or less dancing neo-[[contemporary R&B|R&B]]." She added that the singer remains in the demonstration and collapses under "too cumbersome and too expected" references.<ref>{{cite journal |url=http://www.telerama.fr/musiques/zaz,55742.php |title=Zaz |first=Valérie |last=Lehoux |journal=Télérama |volume=3148 |date=15 May 2010 |language=French |accessdate=5 January 2011}}</ref> ''[[Les Inrockuptibles]]'' gave a negative review of the album and of the lead single.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Zaz manouche - Numéro 1 du Top albums en France, Zaz nous casse bien les bonbons avec son single "Je veux" diffusé de TF1 à France Inter.

Untitled

ZAZ is the first studio album of the French singer Zaz, and was released on 10 May 2010 under the label Play On. It produces two hit singles: "Je veux" and "Le long de la route" which achieved success in Belgium (Wallonia). The album itself was a commercial success, reaching the top of the charts in the francophone countries.

Background and writing

The singer herself participated in the writing of six songs of the album, and French singer Raphaël Haroche wrote three songs.

Zaz received mixed reviews from music critics. Le Figaro said the singer's voice "upsets and wins over".[2] The editors admitted they were moved by "her small skinned side" and praised "the urban blues of "Trop sensible", or the upsetting "Port Coton" or songs with realistic accents such as "Ni oui ni non" or "Dans ma rue"".[3] Liberation stated that her single "Je veux" is "between 'J'veux du soleil' by Au P'tit Bonheur and the competitive 'P'tit kawa' by Karimouche—other examples of good-natured variety supercharged for optimism." The paper also wrote that "her natural [...] compensates a register in a homely where titi-spirited jazz-world does not bother with convolutions".[4] Le Nouvel Observateur deemed "Je veux" a song with "anti-consumerism" lyrics which "immediately catches the ear". Le Parisien believed that her "songs with realistic lyrics marked the spirits... She reflects the mindset of youth, a bit tortured but full of hope".[5] L'Humanité praised a "very direct and friendly link" between the young singer and her public, saying: "Welcome to Zaz's world of good mood".[6]

More critical, Valérie Lehoux of Télérama argued that the singer has "unquestionably the vocal abilities quite unusual", but considered her album as "too broke up so we can cling, sailing without a sextant from a little dusty French song to the free variety, to a more or less dancing neo-R&B." She added that the singer remains in the demonstration and collapses under "too cumbersome and too expected" references.[7] Les Inrockuptibles gave a negative review of the album and of the lead single.[8]
