Isabelle Adjani

French first press 1983. Record plays EX.
Absolute oddball gem. Isabelle Adjani stepping away from acting and into icy, dramatic, synth soaked chanson pop territory. Big emotions delivered in a cool detached way, glossy 80s production, spoken moments, and melodies that feel glamorous but slightly unhinged. It sits somewhere between art pop, European synth drama, and high fashion mood music. Not what people expect, which is exactly why it rules. Proper late night record. Class. FFO Serge Gainsbourg later era, Grace Jones, Catherine Ribeiro, early 80s French synth pop, art pop and chanson
