Music reviews of Arabesque
Music Review: Fresh air
Rating: 4 Stars
Well, I'd just heard, not listened to, a piece of one of the Arabesque's song in a TV spot, here in Spain.
I was enchanted by the music and I started to look for the title and the singer through internet, when I found her, Jane Birkin, I read her biography and about her professional career and I decided to buy one of her albums.
As I previously had bought products to Amazon (and I already knew the efficent way they work)it was the first place I visited to buy the cd.
Of course they had it, and I got it in less than six days.
I truly recommend it to all the readers who enjoy life, sunsets, sunlight, moonlight and fresh air.
Elisa, the song with which the album starts, it's simply heavenly.
Description of Arabesque
British-born Birkin, with her deep bangs and waif-like, androgynous persona, was an iconic 1960s sex kitten. Her exploits ranged from the three-way scene in in Antonioni¹s film Blow Up to performing one-half of her late ex-husband Serge Gainsbourg's notorious (in retrospect, also quite witty!) erotic duet, "Je T'Aime, Moi Non Plus." These days, although her trademark breathy vocal style remains as subtly elusive as ever, she has finally moved on to a mature and womanly sensibility. This live album features an all-Gainsbourg program, but his romantic, world-weary satires are now wreathed in sultry Middle Eastern instrumentation, which suits them remarkably well. The songwriter died relatively young, worn out by cigarettes and hard living. Birkin's interpretations, while based on inside knowledge of the man and his music, are filtered through a shifting kaleidoscope of private images. Her sensuous, sophisticated renditions are part of Gainsbourg's legacy but more importantly, they make scrumptious listening. --Christina RodenInternational CDs
