A second album \"No Promises\" was not.\u003cbr/\u003eThis time round, the pressure has intensified and Sarkozy's advisers will be keenly aware of the record's impact. \u003cbr/\u003eOne of the 14 songs on her new album, \"Ma came\" (My Drug), has already received one bad review - from Colombian Foreign Minister Fernando Araujo who took offence at the lyrics: \"You are my drug/ More deadly than Afghan heroin/More dangerous than white Colombian (a reference to cocaine).\"\u003cbr/\u003eBruni will not be touring to promote her album. She has said that concerts involve too much security because of her status. \u003cbr/\u003eHowever, she has vowed to remain a thoroughly modern woman who makes her own decisions and maintains her
