Relax Baby Be Cool
«Serge is a deep inspiration to me and my music: the combination of compositional eclecticism, his constant state of evolution, his wonderful sense of provocation, and of course his otherworldly, penetrating, and intimate voice. A giant figure in my life, and a magical guiding light from an era I was born in now, and forever. Mike Patton»
Why has Serge Gainsbourg crossed over to the English-speaking world when so many of his contemporaries have remained largely confined to the Francosphere? What is it about this unshaven provocateur that so appeals to us? And who was the real Serge Gainsbourg anyway? Was he the sensitive seducer and songwriting colossus of the 60s and 70s? Was he Lucien Ginsburg, the son of Russian Jewish refugees who had to wear a yellow star during the Nazi Occupation of Paris? Or was he Gainsbarre, the deplorable, attention-seeking drunk who shamelessly propositioned Whitney Houston on live TV? Gainsbourg s cult has only grown since his death in 1991, and Histoire de Melody Nelson is now regarded as a classic in France and internationally. Les mer
