Paris is a double-CD by English artist Malcolm McLaren, released in 1994. A video, shot by David Bailey, was produced for "Paris Paris".




Production


The album was recorded in France over the course of a year, in an attic, with equipment purchased in England at discounted prices. Catherine Deneuve agreed to sing on Paris after telling McLaren that she had his lyrics rewritten. McLaren claimed that all of his vocals were first takes. "Miles and Miles of Miles Davis" is about Miles Davis's relationship with Juliette Gréco. Françoise Hardy sang on "Revenge of the Flowers".




Critical reception



The Toronto Star wrote: "Whether this is a weird travelogue, faux continental sophistication or the real thing, the grand swindler McLaren serves up a rakish and compelling listen." The Calgary Herald deemed the album "nothing more than a cliched celebration of Paris, songs steeped in marshmallow romance, postcard sentimentality, cheesy dance rhythms, pseudo-jazz."
