Charlotte Gainsbourg Music Video: Heaven Can Wait featuring Beck


Charlotte Gainsbourg is an amazing woman. She is not only a great actress (People may refer to Antichrist but I adore her in The Science of Sleep), but she is also a very legitimate songwriter. Of course, this shouldn't be a surprise if you know her father is.

Gainsbourg will be releasing a new album titled IRM which is produced by Beck. The one-man-show duets with her on this track and also stars in this video for "Heaven Can Wait." The song is a bit slow-tempo but nonetheless catchy. What's most captivating are the images they combine for this quirky story. There is a man with a half-beard. There's a shot of a skateboard with hamburgers in place of wheels and there is also a man with pancakes for a head. There's a number of absurdities, but the concept perfectly matches the sound of their unusual duet.
