7digital What we said: All cascades of orchestra, disco grooves and almost-creepily sweet vocals, this latest album from renowned Anglo-French artist Charlotte Gainsbourg is perhaps her most delicious sonic tapestry to date. Flitting between French and English, a nursery rhyme lightness greets you on opening track ‘Ring-a-Ring O’ Roses’, and it sets a lithe, spooky tone for the album (closing song ‘Les oxalis’ descends surreally into a child’s voice singing the alphabet). Some songs recall intimate French chansons while others burst with cinematic ambition and invincibility — either way they all seem to deal with a rich sadness borne out of her renowned father's death. With collaborations from artists as far-ranging as Paul McCartney and Frank Ocean-collaborator SebastiAn, this is a quietly powerful consideration of grief.
