Album Notes & Community Reviews

Entirely written and arranged by Serge Gainsbourg, this iconic release acts as a melancholic, retrospective farewell to the cultural icons of the 1960s. Birkin's delicate, whispery vocal delivery perfectly matches the album's sophisticated blend of traditional French chanson and elegant piano-driven pop arrangements.
