For her 16th album, Brigitte Fontaine took inspiration from Libertine novelists of the XVIIIth Century and the result displayed on "Libido" combines both wickedness and gravity in a music that Mrs. Fontaine defines herself as "baroque’n’roll".
More focused than "Kékéland", an album which showed many outside collaborators (Noir Désir, Sonic Youth, Loo & Placido…), more balanced than "Rue Saint Louis en l'Ile", released in 2004, "Libido" is also a more homogeneous album. Le musical couple she forms with Areski Belkacem has tightened up its craft and with baroque orchestrations, beautiful string-works, piano and harpsichord, it's a delight to the ear.
In fine, it gives us an album of a woman who's not afraid to claim she likes men even though she only loves one: Areski Belkacem, and a daring yet beautiful listening experience.
