Crouçie d’où là is the first album released by Icelandic singer, Emilíana Torrini. It was released in 1995. The title of the record is a play on words. It is spelled as if it were a French word, but it is a homonym of the Icelandic word Krúsídúlla which means cutie pie. The songs include “Crazy Love” written by Van Morrison, “I” written by Japanese group Pizzicato Five, and “Miss Celie’s Blues” (from the movie The Color Purple).
The albums Merman and Crouçie D’où Là are not available any more. When Emilíana Torrini was asked by a French fansite in a 2008 interview, she responded:
“No I really don’t want it too. I have a funny relationship with that record and I guess I have disowned it in someways. My mum proudly took it out of the shelves at christmas and played it to my boyfriend. I hadn’t heard it since I recorded it. It was too painful… I didnt like it. She laughed. He blushed.”
