Charlotte Gainsbourg

After having collaborated with Air, Beck and many others, Charlotte Gainsbourg once again surrounds herself with big names from the french and international scenes, such as McCartney, SebastiAn and Guy Manuel de Homem-Christo (Daft Punk), on the title track.

She even plays the childhood lover of the genius Blood Orange’s Devonté Hynes in the video for the wonderful „Deadly Valentine”.

But we couldn’t have imagined with these first two singles, that one of the main influences of „Rest” would have simply be Charlotte’s parents. Her voice on „Ring-a-Ring O’Roses”, “Kate” or “I’m a Lie”, with their beautiful groove, is plunged into hypnotic orchestrations, in a similar way Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin’s duets did.
