Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Sympathique is the first full-length album from the Portland, Oregon band Pink Martini. It was released on November 11, 1997 by Pink Martini's own record label, Heinz Records.
The album incorporates an impressive variety of influences; traces of Cuban music, cabaret, and film soundtracks are all discernible on Sympathetique, an intriguing blend of contemporary pop painted with brass, strings, and percussion.
The first and second lines of the first verse and the first line of the chorus of Sympathique are taken from Guillaume Apollinaire's poem "Hôtel" from Le guetteur mélancolique.
This album was certified gold in Greece. It sold 650,000 copies.
