Among the Gainsbourgs, music is passed down from generation to generation. There is obviously father Serge Gainsbourg, whose music still influences new artists, but also daughter Charlotte. Having started in the mid-80s with the sulphurous “Lemon Incest” or “Charlotte For Ever”, she then turned to cinema before returning to music in 2006, to release four albums praised by critics and the public . The latest, the excellent “Rest”, dates back to 2017 and fans are impatiently awaiting its successor. But it’s not for now, as she recently mentioned in the columns of Inrocks : « It is very advanced but endless. I started it at the start of Covid-19, four years ago. It doesn’t end, I love it a lot but it doesn’t end. And I’m starting another one… I’m making attempts but without being sure of the outcome. It’s not serious. I love the work process, more than the thing done ».

“New music is coming”
While it had a busy year in 2024, between the great success of the film “Nous, les Leroy” (551,000 admissions) and Maison Gainsbourg placed in receivership, Charlotte Gainsbourg begins 2025 with good news. In turn, his daughter Alice Attal will launch into music. Already followed by some 20,000 subscribers on Instagram, the 22-year-old has already published a cover of the song “What It Is About Men” by Amy Winehouse but also a personal composition, “Serotonin Cheaser”, which Internet users already describe as a mixture between Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou Doillon. A logical connection. To celebrate the new year, Alice Attal revealed the news: “ Happy 2025 babies. I am so grateful to each of you for patiently waiting. New music will be coming this year!! ».
Chance or coincidence, this announcement follows that of Nina, Calogero’s daughter, who also wishes to release her own songs. “ She has her universe. Nina, in everything she does… I’ve listened to her songs and I’m extremely proud. Melody-wise, I think she takes after her uncle and her father. Really. His texts are very beautiful » emphasized his bassist father.
