SONGBIRD: Given her success in France, it’s no surprise Jersey-born jazz chanteuse Stacey Kent has turned out a full album of songs in French. Raconte-Moi (Blue Note) is a gorgeous collection of mellow tunes, including plenty of covers (like “C’est le Printemps,” a reboot of João Gilberto’s version of “It Might as Well be Spring”), begging to be played on a patio while mojitos are imbibed. GET IT: $17.98 at J&R, 23 Park Row, 212-238-9000.
