Our Take

While Serge Gainsbourg may be known for his controversial lyrics and avant-garde style, his live album "Le Zenith de Gainsbourg" proves that he was also a captivating performer. From the moment Gainsbourg saunters onto the stage, cigarette in hand and trademark smirk in place, you know you're in for a wild ride.

The album kicks off with the sultry tones of "Bonnie and Clyde," a track that oozes with Gainsbourg's signature blend of sensuality and danger. As the band kicks into high gear, Gainsbourg's vocals soar above the music, effortlessly weaving in and out of the complex arrangements.

Tracks like "Initials B.B." and "Je T'aime… Moi Non Plus" showcase Gainsbourg's versatility as a performer, effortlessly shifting between genres and moods with ease. Gainsbourg's gravelly voice may not be for everyone, but there's no denying the sheer magnetism of his presence on stage.

However, it's not all smooth sailing on "Le Zenith de Gainsbourg." Some tracks veer dangerously close to self-indulgence, with Gainsbourg's penchant for long, rambling monologues occasionally detracting from the overall experience.

Overall, "Le Zenith de Gainsbourg" is a fascinating snapshot of one of music's most enigmatic figures. Love him or hate him, there's no denying the impact that Serge Gainsbourg had on the music world – and this live album is a testament to his enduring legacy.
