In the UK, Gedida was and across-the-board critical success, and sold more than her previous releases combined, helped on its way by a national tour in the company of Jimmy Page and Robert Plant and sold-out headlining shows at the Shepherds Bush Empire in London. But in France it was another story altogether there, the album made her into a genuine star. Propelled by the success of the single Mon Amie La Rose, it sold 130,000 copies on the other side of the channel, and Natacha went on to win the Best Female Singer category at the Victoires de La Musique awards the French equivalent of the Brits.
