Never thought I'd heard her on Radio Paradise! 
The entire album is really nice -- but much more enjoyable if you understand the lyrics.

can anyone explain why French women must sound like little girls when they sing - all whispery and weak?  Compare this with k.d. lang and joni following or even historically with Edith Piaf — what went wrong?
 

Sorry thaty the France makes you disappointed... But that's only that's not the same singer !!!
Edith Sang in a brothel, and Olivia sing whith her girl heart.
Can undestand why you're so disappointed, after this explanantion, but i don't share your opinion !

We heard this one over and over on French radios so I like it a little less than the first time I heard it.
Her voice is special, not everybody likes it, so no, not "all French singers sound the same"!

I admit to being a sucker for (just about) any female singing in French.
