Serge Gainsbourg – Love On The Beat

Released in 1984, “Love On The Beat” marks a radical shift in Serge Gainsbourg’s career, diving into electronic funk-rock and new wave.

Recorded in the US with American musicians, the album moves away from his earlier reggae period toward a sharper, synthetic production. Notorious for its provocative content, it features tracks like “Lemon Incest”, a duet with his daughter Charlotte, which sparked significant controversy. Mixing eroticism, social commentary and bold aesthetics, Gainsbourg fully embraces his “Gainsbarre” persona. A controversial yet refined album, it remains a defining piece of his late discography
