Just Like Heaven
Charlotte in Prada—what's not to love? From French 'Vogue,' December 2007/January 2008
The headline of this blog post is the best I can describe the latest music video from my favorite sylph-like chanteuse, Charlotte Gainsbourg. To me, it is quintessentially L.A., and not just because of the Dodgers hat featured in one vignette, or scenes that look like they were shot at the Beverly Hills Country Club. Much like the city I love so dearly, it’s a hodgepodge of weird, slightly nightmarish but still playful and sun-drenched images that somehow all make sense when strung together.
Enjoy this sample of what to expect from her forthcoming album IRM, which features major contributions from Beck. And after watching, go ahead and give the title track a listen by downloading it for free from Charlotte’s official website. Le sigh.
