A real release from a fictional entity, Jarvis Cocker's trompe-l'oeil album Tip-Top - Chansons d'ennui revisits a handful of French standards from the 1960s and 1970s. The concept—both enigmatic and terrifically exciting—is this: Tip-Top is a character from Wes Anderson's film The French Dispatch, played by the Pulp frontman. His appearance is ephemeral audio-only: all we hear of him is a cover of Aline coming from a jukebox. Nevertheless, this simple cameo gave the two unusual artists (Cocker and Anderson) the idea to follow the madness all the way, and release an entire record signed by Tip-Top. With his delicious English accent, his deep voice and ultra-sophisticated arrangements, the English singer covers Christophe, but also Nino Ferrer (Amour, je te cherche, the French version of Looking For You), Jacques Dutronc (Les Gens sont fous, les temps sont flous), and his all-time idol Serge Gainsbourg (Requiem pour un con). The mismatch between Cocker's personality and the choice of songs is the real attraction of Chansons d'ennui: when he tackles the Dalida/Alain Delon duet (Paroles Paroles) or Bourvil (La Tendresse), the listener is suddenly thrown into another dimension. This tricksy Tip-Top album includes a track which is particularly dear to Jarvis Cocker (Françoise Hardy's Mon Ami la rose, which he has been listening to since he was a teenager) and a cover version that symbolises all the cheerful madness of the project, Contact, a uniquely weird piece by Brigitte Bardot, written by Gainsbourg in 1967. © Nicolas Magenham/Qobuz

Album review
A real release from a fictional entity, Jarvis Cocker's trompe-l'oeil album Tip-Top - Chansons d'ennui revisits a handful of French standards from the 1960s and 1970s. The concept—both enigmatic and terrifically exciting—is this: Tip-Top is a character from Wes Anderson's film The French Dispatch, played by the Pulp frontman. His appearance is ephemeral audio-only: all we hear of him is a cover of Aline coming from a jukebox. Nevertheless, this simple cameo gave the two unusual artists (Cocker and Anderson) the idea to follow the madness all the way, and release an entire record signed by Tip-Top. With his delicious English accent, his deep voice and ultra-sophisticated arrangements, the English singer covers Christophe, but also Nino Ferrer (Amour, je te cherche, the French version of Looking For You), Jacques Dutronc (Les Gens sont fous, les temps sont flous), and his all-time idol Serge Gainsbourg (Requiem pour un con).
