Brigitte Fontaine Est… Folle is the third studio album by French avant-garde artist Brigitte Fontaine, originally released in 1968. This reissue by Superior Viaduct captures Fontaine's unique blend of chanson, experimental pop, and theatrical performance. Collaborating with conductor Jean-Claude Vannier, known for his work on Serge Gainsbourg's Histoire de Melody Nelson, Fontaine delivers a collection that is both sophisticated and unconventional. The album features lush orchestral arrangements, intricate rhythms, and Fontaine's distinctive vocal delivery, which ranges from spoken word to melodic singing. Tracks like "Il Pleut" and "Une Fois Mais Pas Deux" showcase her ability to fuse French pop sensibilities with avant-garde elements, creating a sound that is both accessible and challenging. Brigitte Fontaine Est… Folle stands as a testament to Fontaine's artistic vision and remains a significant work in the landscape of experimental French music.
