The Songs That We Sing is the first single from 5:55, the highly anticipated (well, by me at least) new album by Charlotte Gainsbourg. After Fictions by Jane Birkin and the Mr. Gainsbourg Revisited-tribute, this is the third major Serge-related release this year. (Maybe Bambou will release an album too, eh?) Contrary to Charlotte For Ever, her first album, this time Charlotte only sings in English - although songtitle Jamais might suggest otherwise. Just like on Fictions, a string of big names collaborated with Charlotte: producer Nigel Godrich, J-B and Nicolas from Air, afrobeat-hero Tony Allen, Neil from Divine Comedy, Jarvis Cocker and even Beck's daddy. The result is tender, lush, with a few flaws (not every song is memorable) but all 'n all way better than her debut.

Guuzbourg, wat zijn het er veel! Ik had verwacht dat het VK-stuk wel een heuse hysterie op dit blog zou afsturen, maar niks! Ik heb in ieder geval gauw op livejournal de naam 'zuchtmeisje' gereserveerd, zo leuk vind ik hem. Jammer dat Ronald Giphart 'm bedacht heeft, en ook jammer dat ik helemaal geen zuchtmeisje bèn, maar dan nog..
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMooi blog, en een leuk fenomeen! Ik ben vooral onder indruk van Too Drunk to Fuck van de Nouvelle Vague. Maar ik snap nu dat er buiten dat nog een hele massa nieuwe zuchtmeisjes is..

Thanks luv. Het aantal comments staat niet in verhouding tot het aantal bezoekers (zie statcounter, onderaan); na De Volkskrant en ook FAZ is het aantal bezoekers behoorlijk toegenomen.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOh and by the way, the 'Songs that we Sing'mp3 was taken from indielaundry.blogspot.
Thanks Guuz!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIts going take forever for this to reach the US so I'm grateful for a first look!
The list of collaborators is impressive but I'm a bit dissapointed hat tthe vocals are all en Anglais!
Charlotte G. might be gaining some much-deserved Stateside visibility (methinks Jane eyre was at leats ten years ago!) as she appears in the soon-to-be-released M. Gondry film - fresh off of Eternal Spotlight - with Gael Garcia Bernal to tops!
nice, i wonder if her sister lou has any ambitions in this area.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYay, totally forgot about Lou Doillon. She's beautiful.

Hello,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYes Bambou have made a cd too, but it was very bad, so bad we have forgotten here in France...
