brigitte fontaine

Never one to settle on a single musical style, BRIGITTE FONTAINE followed up After her her debut "Est...Folle" and her astonishing collaboration with THE ART ENSEMBLE OF CHICAGO "Comme À La Radio", Brigitte Fontaine made this release in 1972, which was the only one she made just by herself in the 70s.

From the introspective opening track, simply named "Brigitte," seductive melodies perfectly hang above slit hery bass lines and acoustic strumming. On "Moi Aussi," a sparse and trance-like duet with long-time collaborator Areski, FONTAINE muses, "They put me in a cage and after they told me 'You fly down.'" Brigitte Fontaine is an unmatched European art-pop masterpiece anchored by both vocal and lyrical dexterity – in many ways, FONTAINE's most compelling work and an excellent entry point for those unfamiliar with this unique French icon.
