BRIGITTE BARDOT -
Brigitte Bardot Sings
NEW CD
Brigitte Bardot was nearly 30 years old
by the time this debut album was released, but by that point she'd
already racked up a filmography as long as your arm. In-keeping
with her brand image, the music is defined by a kind of saucy
frivolity spanning all manner of disparate genres.
The album gets underway with
Serge Gainsbourg's 'L'appereil a
Sous', a one-and-a-half minute romp through classic '60s pop
frippery, before
'Les Amis De La Musique' sees
Brigitte delve into some Jazz-age, ragtime flavoured fun and
games.
Next comes the Latin
American-influenced 'El Cuchipe', which doesn't seem quite daft
enough for its own good. Fortunately, tunes like 'C'est Rigolo'
feature enough charm and exuberance to remedy any threat of
seriousness setting in. Brigitte has a go at 'Everybody Loves My
Baby' (that's right, in English) and makes a right meal of phrases
like "my rosy cheeks", which sound brilliantly silly. Just as you'd
hope for, this album is retro bubblegum of the very highest order,
exuding buckets of personality throughout its small, but perfectly
formed thirty minutes.
