Details: Product Description Birkin, Jane Amazon.ca If Jane Birkin sings Gainsbourg again, it is for an ultimate tribute that she wanted as free as it is light, and for which she takes songs from her Pygmalion that she had never performed, with the exception of a. From those that marked his beginnings, such as "This mortal boredom", "Elaeudanla teïtéïa", "Coffee color" or "Elisa". From those he has offered to other performers, such as "La Gadoue" to Petula Clark, "Comment te dire adieu" to Françoise Hardy or "Le Malinterieur" to Isabelle Adjani. But that is not the only interest of this album. It is much more in Jane Birkin's will to bring to each of these 15 songs new and all different orchestrations. This is why she has surrounded herself with talents as diverse as the Green Negresses, Daran and the Chairs, the pianist Jeff Cohen, the American guitarist Sonny Landreth, the jazz organist Eddy Louiss, the African percussionist Doudou Ndiaye Rose, etc. For surprising versions of diversity and contrasts, energy and insolence, by turns melancholic and facetious, grunge and hip-hop, which give us the opportunity to rediscover Gainsbourg. With special mentions for the sober "Physique et sans issue", the subtle "Depression above a garden", the moving "Sorry Angel", the crystalline "Ces petits riens". Jane Birkin, as for her, funny or overwhelming at will, sings there better than ever. --Sylvie Devilette
