Fictions buy CD music Audio Mixer: Renaud Letang. Recording information: Studios Ferber, Paris, France. Photographer: Carole Bella�che. Arranger: Gonzales. Brit-born actress and recording artist -- and longtime French resident -- Jane Birkin may have gained fame and fortune as being the prot�g� -- and the greatest love -- of composer, director, and national French hero the late Serge Gainsbourg, but her long reign as cultural heroine and quirky pop vocalist has been the result of her own toil and sweat. One would never consider that the lanky, ever-thin Birkin, she of the slightly flat, shaky voice, could have this sort of longevity, but the Europeans are far different from Americans and far more embracing than Yanks. Birkin has made a career of recording classic chansons and Gainsbourg songs -- many of the latter were written specifically for or about her -- but on Fictions, she's gone to another level. Along with Svengali engineer, arranger, and producer Renaud Letang -- who has worked with everyone from Birkin (on Rendez-Vous), to Bj�rk, Mocky, Gonzales, Jean Michel Jarre and Alain Chamfort -- she's solicited (in the same way Marianne Faithfull has in the past) original songs form a slew of contemporary artists and recorded a few well-chosen covers to create an album firmly stamped with her heart's seal of tenderness and desperation. Beth Gibbons of Portishead (who appears as a backing vocalist here on her track), Neil Hannon of Divine Comedy, Gonzales, Rufus Wainwright, and Kate Bush, along with the crop of new French chanson writers, Dominique A., Cali, and Arthur H., Birkin also covers Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan's "Alice" and Neil Young's "Harvest Moon." Former Smith Johnny Marr plays guitar and harmonica on select cuts, drummers Mocky and Regis Ceccarelli contribute as well, with most of the instruments being played either in the flesh or via sampling by Gonzales, and string arrangements by Stephane Moucha. ...See Full Description
