Fleurs (Franco Battiato album)


Fleurs, also graphically rendered as Fleur and FLEURs, is a studio album by Italian singer-songwriter Franco Battiato, issued in 1999. Except for two new songs, the album consists of cover versions of Italian and international classics, mainly from the 1960s. The album was described as "delicate, elegant and enjoyable." The album was followed by Fleurs 3 and Fleurs 2. The Battiato's version of The Rolling Stones' "Ruby Tuesday" was later featured in the musical score of Alfonso Cuarón's 2006 film Children of Men.
