User Album Review
On her new effort Rest, Gainsbourg opens up and tells her story, spurred by the sadness and anger she felt after the 2013 death of her sister Kate Barry, who fell from the window of her Paris apartment. For the first time, Gainsbourg writes most of her own lyrics, veering back and forth between French and English as she memorializes her sister, celebrates her father (who died in 1991) and, through her kids, laments the ever-quickening passage of time. Along the way, she incorporates children’s playground games (“Ring-a-Ring o’ Roses”) and traditional wedding vows (“Deadly Valentine”), and she gets an assist from none other than Paul McCartney, who wrote and plays on the very McCartney-esque “Songbird in a Cage.”
Like Charlotte Gainsbourg’s entire musical career, Rest is imperfect, but it’s intriguing enough that you can’t help but pay attention. And now that she’s pouring more of herself into her songs, her work feels weightier, more complex, and more compelling. It will be interesting to see what she does next, and with whom. Here’s hoping she continues down this more personal path.
