We’ve discussed Charlotte Gainsbourg (“Antichrist”)’s third album, IRM, produced and co-written by Beck a few times now. The album doesn’t come out in the U.S. til January, but hits her native France on December 7.
What’s more the first single, “Heaven Can Wait,” was set to be released in France on October 19 and that must have happened, because the track has leaked and you can hear it below (though one of our friends in France tell us it was leaked via French radio, so it’s completely possible the Oct 19 date was pushed back). It’s a rather great track, bouncy pianos, but not annoyingly so, with an effervescent spirit and some really inspired horn work (and some awesome background vocals). Give it a listen.
Gainsbourg’s amazing performance in “Antichrist,” is in theaters in limited release as we speak.
