Rest by Charlotte Gainsbourg

Rest, Charlotte Gainsbourg's fourth studio album and her first in eight years, came out on Because Music and Atlantic on 17 November 2017, and it's a record haunted by family. She wrote through the deaths of her father, Serge Gainsbourg, and her half-sister Kate Barry, circling alcohol addiction along the way, and she has said she wanted the grief to come out angry as well as sad. It does, in English and French both.
The French electronic musician SebastiAn handled most of the production, wrapping her hushed voice in cold, glittering electronics, and the guest list is a flex: Paul McCartney, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, Owen Pallett and Connan Hosford all pitch in. She directed the videos for the singles "Rest" and "Deadly Valentine" herself.
