Free Music Review: Nice *INTRO* To Serge Gainsbourg...
Hit: 5 Stars

I'm new to the music of Serge Gainsbourg. The only thing I knew about him was from the song "Je T'Aime Moi Non Plus," which was the inspiration and precursor to Donna Summer's "Love To Love You (Baby)" (her intro to the American audience available on Love to Love You Baby).

"Je T'Aime Moi Non Plus" is a beautifully lush, sexual song that Gainsbourg duets with Jane Birken, who coos lovingly on her part. The song, literally translated as "I Love You...Me Neither," has such a haunting quality to it that I just had to explore Gainsbourg further, which brought me to INITIALS S.G. BTW, Summer covered "Je T'Aime Moi Non Plus" with Giorgio Moroder on the The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Of Thank God It's Friday.

Even though I don't understand French, I can only pick out a word or phrase here and there, I enjoy the tracks on this CD.

If Edith Piaf was the voice of France, then Serge Gainsbourg is the voice of French-Chic. The lounge, jazz, hip, ultra-cool, laid back sound that mixes nonchalance with bedroom lore and virility, that's what Gainsbourg sounds like to me. There's something very appealing about his voice: it just oozes sexuality. Never mind the lyrics!

This CD gives a good range of work starting from 1958 to 1980. I like the earlier stuff like "Intoxicated Man," which sounds like a hip, jazz song played at those beatnik clubs in Paris during the 60s.

"Chez Les Ye-Ye" sounds like a rock song by Chuck Berry and "Couleur Cafe" reminds me of a commercial jingle or something that Pizzicato Five would do. "Qui Est In Qui Est Out" is very go-go like with that prominent guitar twang that was so popular in the 60s go-go music. Of course the aforementioned "Je T'Aime Moi Non Plus" is part of this collection as well. Another cool song is "Ford Mustang," the coolness coming from the oddity of it. It has a good beat and Serge sounds like he's reading a poem or just saying phrases and a girl in the background says in English "Ford Mustang...Bang!" among other things. It's very Grace Jones like with disparate elements coming together into a cohesive song, LOL.

I'm not surprised there's a re-ignition of interest in Gainsbourg's music. It's really cool and that voice...no wonder he got so many beautiful women! Anyway, if you like to listen to 60s type music with a good beat--a little off the beaten path at times--and with 100% sex appeal, get INITIALS S.G. You can't go wrong.
