Voila! is the forthcoming seventh proper solo album by Belinda Carlisle, due to be released in early 2007. It is described as "an album of classic French Chansons and pop standards"^[1], much different than Carlisle's previous English pop records. Although all of the songs are sung in French, interestingly many of the musicians featured on the album are Irish.

In an Oct. 2006 press release describing the album, Carlisle stated "After I moved to France, I became familiar with the classic French chansons and a lot of French pop music. I realized there was a whole world of artists and singers I was not familiar with. As I discovered all these amazing songs, I came to love this music and wanted to record some of them with a playful, contemporary feel."^[1]
