British-French actress and singer Charlotte Gainsbourg is the daughter of actress Jane Birkin and singer Serge Gainsbourg.

She first came to prominence in France as a young teenager, singing songs penned by her father. She recorded "Lemon Incest" with him at the age of 12 and released an album with her father at the age of 15.

As an adult she has recorded albums of her own, and appeared in many films, including several directed by Lars von Trier. She has received both a C茅sar Award and the Cannes Film Festival Best Actress Award.

After sudden death her half-sister, the fashion photographer Kate Barry, in 2013 Charlotte was plunged into an extended period of grieving. The event had transpired just as Charlotte was initiating activity on a new album, the successor to 2010鈥檚 IRM.

Rather than put a total brake on creative proceedings the anguish would slowly found expression in the pages of Charlotte鈥檚 journal and, eventually, in the lyrics of the songs that she would write for Rest, her long-gestating but ultimately cathartic third studio album.
