Charlotte Gainsbourg ended with the beginning, when she gave a rare concert on Danish soil.
As the last encore played chanteusen its to say the least, controversial debut single, ’Lemon Incest’, which was released in 1985 as a daft duet between the then-13-year-old Charlotte and her father, the icon Serge Gainsbourg, who coined the term enfant terrible.
today was the enough become public, and the question was, whether the audience in Vega had no idea what they stood and clapped, while oden to familiekærligheden petered out.
Charlotte has continued his famous father’s extremely provocative style as an actor in several of Lars von Trier’s perverted works, but the French-English singer electronic and erotic lingering pop music is not so challenging.
nevertheless, the orbits of several of the songs on her latest album, ’Residue’, about the loss of monsieur Gainsbourg, who died of a heart attack in 1991, and halvsøsteren Kate Berry, who lost his life in a fall from the fourth floor about five years ago.
the Numbers from the ’Remnant’ amounted to half of the 80-minute-long set in the Vesterbro district, where a reserved audience were served competently, but also something cool tediousness of the 47-year-old singer with the small, whispering voice.
Gainsbourg sat at her keyboard in large parts of the show, and she was moving not much more, when she stood under the dynamic and bodily highlights as ’Paradisco’, ’Bombs Away’ and ’Deadly Valentine’.
Her band managed the functioning of the repertoire quite brilliantly in the aftermath of the French wave with Air and Daft Punk, while also visually was track of the cases in a minimalist but effective stage show, which mainly consisted of something as simple as fluorescent tubes.
There was a huge French franskhed over the scene, where Gainsbourg once again demonstrated the family penchant for outlandish excesses with an understated interpretation of Kanye West’s ’Runaway’.
the Question is probably whether Charlotte would have been an international star if she had been called Kronenbourg to the surname, but there is hardly any doubt that the danger sitting in a bar beyond and is proud of the fact that the daughter entertains with a song that flirts with incest. the
