Famous French actress, musician and songwriter Charlotte Gainsbourg releases the album entitled IRM, on January 26, 2010. This eclectic mix of pop, electronic, and folk-rock is Gainsbourg's second album.
Gainsbourg, daughter of famous French singer Serge Gainsbourg and British actress/ singer Jane Berkin, follows in her parent's musical footsteps while also establishing her sound and style. Gainsbourg also incorporates direct influences from Beck, an american musician and songwriter.
“Beck had a way of guessing what I was thinking and feeling without my telling him,” said Gainsbourg. “We never discussed these things explicitly. He asked me what I wanted the album to sound like, but I didn’t want to close myself in. So I didn’t give him too much direction.”
Gainsbourg has made her mark in several critically-acclaimed European films such as Science of Sleep and Antichrist.
Although she is mostly famous for her acting, nearly all concerts are sold-out. To hear Gainsbourg's new album, listen free at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122258450.
