“Little French Songs,” the brand new music album from former French First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, is out in music stores today. If you expected hype around it to die down, you should know that just the opposite is happening.

As Billboard notes, controversy around the album continues, as fans and critics are still trying to guess who some songs are about.

“Chez Keith et Anita,” for instance, is about a visit at Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards’ home. Mick Jagger and Keith’s former girlfriend, Anita Pallenberg, are also there.

You can listen to the track above.

Another song, “The Penguin,” is believed to have been written about current President Francois Hollande, though she denies it.

Fans of her music can decide whether the hype is justified only by picking up a copy of the album and giving it a go.
