Serge Gainsbourg - Mauvaises Nouvelles Des Etoiles

gautamnayak2012

Review by Gautam Nayak

Mauvaises Nouvelles Des Etoiles, the album by Serge Gainsbourg, is a masterpiece that showcases the legendary French singer's unique style and lyrical prowess. Released in 1981, the album features 10 tracks that range from ballads to rock-inspired tunes, all infused with Gainsbourg's signature wit and wordplay.

The album's title track, "Mauvaises Nouvelles Des Etoiles," sets the tone with its haunting melody and melancholic lyrics. Gainsbourg's voice is at its most vulnerable here, conveying a sense of despair and resignation that is both moving and powerful. Other standout tracks include "L'Homme A Tete De Chou," a surreal tale of love and obsession, and "Lola Rastaquouere," a reggae-infused ode to a femme fatale.

Throughout the album, Gainsbourg's lyrics are both poetic and playful, often weaving in references to literature, mythology, and popular culture. His arrangements are equally inventive, blending elements of rock, funk, and electronic music to create a sound that is both timeless and ahead of its time.
