Whatever you've heard about Brigitte Fontaine is probably true. Yes, she's kind of an old crazy woman. Yes, she sometimes sings out of tune (but that's part of her unique charm). Yes, she handles her lyrics like some people swear (in fact, her lyrics are often full of swearing). And, yes, she's a Great Artist.
So, okay, her glorious time doing avant-folk with her musical companion, Areski Belkacem, are long gone and her music certainly is not as visceral as it used to be in the 70's. Thus, expecting 2009's Prohibition to be anything else than a modern pop album is a lost cause. Since her 90's commercial comeback, heavily supported by admirers from the new chanson scene, Brigitte has produced good music that is not as urgent as her defining albums but remains, all the same, some of the best released in France by a veteran artist. And Prohibition has more urgency than anything else she produced in years which, despite being less inovating music than that of her glory years, make it a must hear for anyone who ever took an interest in the French scene, in Brigitte and in music in general. Get it.
