Lemon Incest - Charlotte Gainsbourg 5:55

Posted over 3 years ago
*She is intelligent, elegant, beautiful and she is the daughter of "Papa Poule" Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin.*Charlotte Gainsbourg, will be releasing her much anticipated album "5:55" this coming August 28th.Perhaps most people recognise her as Serge's little girl, the adolescent voice of "Charlotte Forever", but this doesn't take into account her impressive film career in France and abroad; her most recent including 21 Grams, Lemming and the soon to be released Gondry production, The Science of Sleep.She remains a multi-talented, versatile actress and now the singer will return after a 2 decade hiatus. (Charlotte did reappear briefly for Madonna and Badly Drawn Boy)The musical collaboration on 5:55 is a sight to see! We have Nigel Godrich, the producer of (amongst many others) Radiohead and Beck. Jarvis Cocker, the Gainsbourg fan himself, joins as does Neil Hannon (The Divine Comedy) and French duo Air.Her anglo-franco voice sounds enchanting and seductive, nostalgic of perhaps even her father.*Two extracts from 5:55 are available here:*http://www.myspace.com/charlottegainsbourg.This will certainly be at the top my purchases this summer.*Official Site:*http://www.charlottegainsbourg.net/

  2. Jess Horrible says Yes, I don't think I ever thought anything of her apart from Lemon Incest... wasn't even sure how old she was. This is great news! Remind me in August... or hopefully she'll make a big splash over here too.

  3. jeej says 21 Grams was a poor mans Amores Perros (regardless of the fact they are by the same director!). Thanks for the tip though, I'll check her out now. :-)
