If you know her only as the very intense Parisian lady from Lars von Trier movies, this double album should serve as a good introduction to Charlotte Gainsbourg and her ultracool brand of electro-pop. Featuring unreleased studio tracks as well as live performances of songs from her 2009 breakout IRM, Stage Whisper is all slow-grinding skinny-jeans disco and breathy emotional detachment. In other words: impossibly chic, and impossibly French. — Entertainment Weekly
