No Promises is the second album by the Italian-French singer Carla Bruni. It was recorded during 2006 and released in January 2007. While Bruni's début album, Quelqu'un m'a dit, was sung in French; this album was sung in English.
All tracks on the album are adapted by Bruni from poems by 19th- and 20th-century authors.
AllMusic said: "Carla Bruni's sophomore effort takes a more difficult route and sees her setting canonical works by such poets as Yeats and Emily Dickinson to music, often calamitously" and concludes "It is a brave failure, but a failure nonetheless."
