"Sylvia Says (Jerge remix)" by Charlotte Gainsbourg
Curated by: Brendan Boland
Spotify: bit.ly/SylviaSaysGainsbourgJerge
Genre: #techno
I have always fallen for the femme fatale. Her soft lips, alluring eyes, and the sultry movements of a siren. Mary Astor in The Matese Falcon, Lauren Bacall in The Big Sleep, or Rita Hayworth in Gilda, all stole my heart. It’s as much how they say the words as what they say - an affectation, a wry laugh, or a smirk rather than a smile. Choice encounters that lead to shadows, and often, despair.
I first fell for Charlotte Gainsborough as the quirky love interest in Michel Gondry’s "The Science of Sleep". She was the whimsical artist who inspired a lonely dreamer to love. Beyond the silver screen, Gainsborough, daughter of the legendary Serge Gainsborough, has been releasing music since the age of 12. Her latest, Rest, produced by SebastIAn, captures her feelings after the death of her father and half sister.
Told through a dream-pop fantasy, "Slyvia Says" weaves Gainsborough darkened fantasy of a narrator torn. Her sullied rendez-vous turned into a carousel of nightmarish deja vu. Tormented by her own mind, she can only seem to escape through death. The vocals are sweet. Warm. Gainsborough creates immense contrast, daring the listener to question the melodic tune against her lyrical dirge. She defines beauty as reflected through tragedy.
“I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead...Sylvia says” Jerge’s remix seems to re-create the song in it’s lyrical image. Mixing in darker synths to crisp tech house drums, he echoes Gainsoborough’s haunting vocals throughout the first half of the remix. She calls out - her words sometimes only arriving as a memory of what was once there, yet already fading away: “I lift my lids and all is born again ...Sylvia says”. Sonically, elements of the remix are reminiscent of Justice, SebastiAn, and other Ed Banger acts of the late 2000s - a raw synthesizer, a loud crash cymbal, and a dystopian techno narrative designed to illuminate a dark night sky. The effect is enticing yet ominous. While Jerge is relatively unknown, this remix showcases his ability to craft evocative mixes, especially when sampling from such lush material as Charlotte Gainsbourg.
