NBA All-Star, Longoria's fiance glorifies lavish
lifestyle in French
PARIS - French basketball star Tony Parker, an NBA All Star engaged
to Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria, released his debut
hip-hop album on Monday, glorifying his lavish lifestyle in
French.
Parker, 24, is a household name in France as one of the countrys
highest-earning sportsmen and its biggest basketball star, but the
softly spoken San Antonio Spurs guard has kept his music skills
firmly under wraps until now.
The album, Tony Parker, features the captain of Frances national
team on vocals against a backdrop of hip-hop and dancefloor
beats.
The first release off the album, Balance-toi (throw yourself
around) includes the lyrics: What, you want to dance? No, its not
worth it. Me, Ill stay on the sofa enjoying the vibe by raising my
arms.
As if to ensure that Longoria, whom he is due to marry this summer
in France, does not get jealous, it also features the line: Ive
already got my woman for life.
