• Charlotte Gainsbourg
  David Dye sits down with French chanteuse, Charlotte Gainsbourg, on this edition of World Cafe Words and Music from WXPN. The daughter of French singer, Serge Gainsbourg, and the British actress, Jane Birkin, Charlotte has gone on to embrace both of her parents' occupations. Though better known as a film star, she began singing professionally at age 13 and collaborated with the French band, Air, on her last two releases. "IRM," Charlotte's new disc, was produced and written with Beck, and in this interview she'll illustrate what that partnership was like.
