Charlotte Gainsbourg feat. Beck – Heaven Can Wait

• 29th Dec 2009

As a prelude to her 3rd album’ IRM’, the engaging singer/songwriter come actress, Charlotte Gainsbourg enlists the help of her producer Beck.

He gives the vocal element an extra thread, as his stern and gritty touch skips alongside Gainsbourg’s earthy almost folk lob. Jangling percussion punctuates the points made about getting used to the life that you lead and what it throws at you.

‘Heaven Can Wait’, builds from a disjointed key prominent instrumental base and the dual vocals bobble along, giving you time and space for some New Year reflection.

A new album and an intriguing new movie (‘The Tree’), as well as a stirring single on the horizon in 2010. Means that it could be the year that this versatile French performer earns universal respect.
