Summary
POP CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG: 5:55 **** BECAUSE/ATLANTIC, GBP 12.99
CHARLOTTE Gainsbourg, enigmatic daughter of Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, last recorded an album when she was 13 years old. As part of the process, she filmed a video with her dad duetting on Lemon Incest. It has taken her 23 years to get over that and produce a follow-up. She has lined up some big guns to assist her - 5:55 features dreamy music by Air, lyrics by Jarvis Cocker and precision production by Radiohead's right-hand man, Nigel Godrich, plus string arrangements by Beck's dad. It's all effortlessly classy, intriguing and terribly Gallic, thanks to Gainsbourg's coolly detached vocal delivery. But, for a warmer pastiche of the urbane, lavish pop of Gainsbourg Sr, try Isobel Campbell's Mercury-nominated album.See the full content of this document
