2023 repress as double heavy weight black vinyl, with original artwork and gatefold sleeve. Originally released in 2006. Even though
5:55
isn't technically
Charlotte Gainsbourg
's first solo album (that would be
Charlotte for Ever
, which was released [in 1986] when she was 15), it is her first solo album as an adult and, with the help of a dream team of collaborators, it's a fittingly sophisticated set that touches on her father
Serge
's brilliantly louche, literate pop without being overshadowed by it.
Air
's
Jean-Benoit Dunckel
and
Nicolas Godin
(who paid tribute to Serge Gainsbourg particularly well on
10,000 Hz Legend
's
Wonder Milky Bitch
) wrote
5:55
's delicate music, while
Jarvis Cocker
and the
Divine Comedy
's
Neil Hannon
penned its lyrics. This mingling of French and English influences is mirrored in Charlotte Gainsbourg's subtly expressive voice and accent, which provides the perfect complement to the album's lush sounds and vivid imagery.
