Rumours of a new Charlotte Gainsbourg album produced by SebastiAn and featuring Daft Punk’s Guy-Man de Homem Christo are true — and you can now listen to the album’s dreamy first single, ‘Rest’, which has been produced by one half of Daft Punk.
Gainsbourg will release her new album of the same name on November 17 and it features collaborations with Paul McCartney, Owen Pallett, Connan Mockasin, SebastiAn, and others.
Speaking about the album’s first single, Gainsbourg said: “Those were the first words that I actually sang on the album. I came in with all my bunches of lyrics … It was too much, really, and Guy-Man was saying, ‘You can’t say all that; you have to simplify it,’ and he reduced it to three words! It felt so innocent in a way, but it was exactly what I needed at that time.”
