Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced and composed primarily by Serge Gainsbourg, the English actress and singer's first true solo album is a masterclass in delicate, highly orchestrated French pop. The record relies heavily on Birkin's famously breathy, fragile vocal delivery, perfectly paired with Gainsbourg's sophisticated, whimsical, and often provocatively poetic arrangements. It cemented her iconic status as a sophisticated, alluring muse of the Parisian pop scene.
