charlotteinterview page2 Charlotte Gainsbourg: multi trick pony

Your new album, IRM, with Beck, is amazing. Did you approach him, or vice versa?

I hadn’t worked with him in the past, but I didn’t really meet him until I shook his hand in order to start work on the album. I called him. It was a very easy decision. I have always admired his work. We started with five days to see how things turned out and we ended-up with three songs. He was working on releasing his own album, so I waited three months to get those songs back. After that, I asked him if we could continue, and he said yes! So I was going back and forth between LA and Paris. It was good, actually, to have the distance in between.
