I guess I'm partial when it comes to 60's French Pop Artist Serge Gainsbourg. I have three of his albums and I enjoy listening to them. It just never gets old. A ladies' man in the same vein as James Bond. He embodied the cheesyness of a flomboyant swinging man, never politically correct, often times controversial. Married to beautiful 60's actress Jane Birkin. She collaborated with him in the album "monsieur gainsbourg", (je t'aime moi non plus).
Anglo-French singer, actress, Charlotte Gainsbourg possesses that same charm as her late father, while having the elegant beauty of her mother Jane Birkin.
"A cinq heures cinquante-cinq" starts out on the first track, 5:55 - which also bears the name of the album. Interestingly though, all but one of the tracks were in English, with "Tel que tu es" a - tribute to her late father. With songs all composed by Air's Jean-Benoit-Dunkel and Nicolas Godin. The next few tracks progresses through a journey-like sequence, often demonstrating penchants for day-dreaming and contemplative moods ending with a remix of the first track.
5:55 ranks as one of my favorite albums of 2007.(The album came out in 2006). It's simple, it's elegant, and subtle.
