Albumism’s 50 Best Albums of 2017 | #11: Charlotte Gainsbourg’s ‘Rest’

December 6, 2017 Albumism Staff

#11
Charlotte Gainsbourg | Rest
Because/Atlantic | Amazon | iTunes

According to Liz Itkowsky: “Charlotte Gainsbourg has spent a life under scrutiny. Though her music has often had a personal feel, Rest is the first vivid glimpse into Gainsbourg’s personal life. An actress and singer, up until this point, her act has been mainly performative. But on her fifth album, the listener is granted access to a vulnerable, realistic version of Gainsbourg. Unsurprisingly, it’s the most compelling version yet. Rest is complex and accessible. It is a beautiful album, by a brilliant woman with impeccable taste. What more could you ask for?”
