    Stage Whisper is all slow-grinding skinny-jeans disco and breathy emotional detachment.

    Although Stage Whisper comprises very much atypical pieces of music from Gainsbourg, it's still equally as lovable and interesting as her other works.

    It's not that Gainsbourg is swallowed up by her band, more that she doesn't – or can't – rise to the occasion as a natural singer can... It still charms, though.

    A bit of a mixed bag.
