Charlotte Gainsbourg - 5:55 - Review
Gainsbourg ???
Oui, Charlotte Gainsbourg is the daughter of Serge and even more interesting … Jane Birkin.
Maybe you youngsters do not know, but your hippieparents do !
Serge and Jane performed the legendaric “Je t’aime… moi non plus” record in 1969.
Jane (http://www.janebirkin.net/) times Serge (http://www.gainsbourg.org/) times that record makes CHARLOTTE. It is 69*69 …
Charlotte released a supercd with guests like Air (tsss…), Jarvis Cocker (Oasis) and Tony Allen (Kuti’s drummer !). Must have been magical moments.
But overall the songs are dripping erotic drops like there is a big waterleak !
Sex (sorry …) all over the place !
Piano … whispering voices … “Air”-ish strings … sparklin’… sound effects … the sexy French-English-accent … you can feel it is made with passion. Sounds like a movie yet to be made.
Just essential release this year.
