L'amour en vol (English: The Love in Flight) is the third studio album by French R&B/pop singer-songwriter Leslie Bourgoin, released on 20 November 2006 through EMC Records and Sony BMG. The album contains the singles, "L'envers de la terre", "Sobri 2", and "Accorde-moi" featuring Bobby Valentino. "L'amour en vol" debuted at number 50 on the French Albums Chart (SNEP).[1] The album spent only 9 weeks on the chart, placing its last position at number 200. The album differs in terms of sound, with more electro-pop-induced beats rather than her previous R&B efforts, Je suis et je resterai and Mes couleurs.

Background and composition

After the success of her second studio album, "Mes couleurs" (2004), Bourgoin decided to approach a different sound, after already establishing herself as an R&B star with her debut studio album, "Je suis et je resterai" (2002), and experimenting in raï music, mixing it with R&B, as seen with Mes couleurs. With re-occurring producers Kore & Skalp, this album contains a more "futuristic" sound, with electro-pop elements and using hints of R&B throughout the instrumentals of the album. Recording sessions took place in various studios, such as Matrix Studio (located in Londres), Studio EMC Records, and Studio Master.[2][3]
