Charlotte Gainsbourg

Quick post, have to continue my studies!

I love Charlotte Gainsbourg, not because she is the daughter of Serge Gainsbourg, but because her music warms you up. Her soft whispers embody feelings of hot, sensual Friday nights. The shyness in her voice brings her music to levels of romantic sexiness. Charlotte's voice is as slight and breathy as her mother's (Jane Birkin), but her lyrics (written by Jarvis Cocker and the Divine Comedy's Neil Hannon) are deep, emotive, rewarding and compelling.

"The cabin is burning, I smile and feel complete," she sings in the haunting AF607105 (a song about a plane plummeting to earth). In the seductive Operation (a metaphor for dissecting a relationship), she sings, "I wanna examine every inch of your frame, the pressure points that cause you joy and pain."
