Breathy, soft and almost inaudible

From Wikipedia edited – Gainsbourg made her musical debut with her father, French actor/singer Serge Gainsbourg, on the song “Lemon Incest” in 1984. Two years later, she released her debut album Charlotte for Ever.

In 2000, Gainsbourg was featured on the Madonna album, Music on the track “What It Feels Like For A Girl“. There is a lengthy spoken intro by Gainsbourg, taken from the film The Cement Garden, which inspired the title of the song. The track was further remixed for the single version of this song in 2001, with Gainsbourg’s The Cement Garden speech repeated during the song. In 2004, she sang a duet with French pop star Étienne Daho on his single “If“.

In 2006, Gainsbourg released her second album 5:55 reaching the top spot on the French charts and achieving platinum status in the country. In the UK, the album was moderately successful, reaching #78 (The single “The Songs That We Sing” only made #129).

Gainsbourg has recently released her third studio album, IRM,which was produced by Beck.

The video is from the French TV program Taratata but it’s not her first recording of Just Like a Woman. Gainsbourg acted in the role of Dylan’s wife to Heath Ledger’s Dylan in I’m Not There.
