Our Take

Serge Gainsbourg's No 2 is like stumbling upon a vintage French music hall where the drinks are flowing freely and the cigarette smoke hangs heavy in the air.

The album is a delightful romp through Gainsbourg's quirky, offbeat world, filled with playful melodies and clever wordplay. From the infectious grooves of "Le Claqueur De Doigts" to the sultry, jazz-infused "Adieu Créature," Gainsbourg weaves a tapestry of musical delights that captivate and charm.

One of the highlights of the album is the duet with Brigitte Bardot, "Bonnie and Clyde," a cheeky, seductive ode to the infamous outlaw couple. Their chemistry is palpable as they trade verses over a funky beat, creating a mesmerizing musical moment that is both playful and dangerously alluring.

Gainsbourg's lyrical wit shines throughout the album, with clever wordplay and irreverent humour that keeps the listener on their toes. His distinctive voice, with its gravelly tone and mischievous twinkle, adds an extra layer of charm to each track.

Overall, No 2 is a delightful, whimsical journey through the mind of a musical genius. Gainsbourg's unique blend of French chanson, jazz, and pop is a joy to experience, and this album is a testament to his enduring talent and creativity. Sit back, pour yourself a glass of wine, and let Serge Gainsbourg serenade you into a world of whimsy and wonder. Santé!
