Brigitte Fontaine's Brigitte Fontaine Est Folle is an avant-garde masterpiece that gleefully defies categorization—and it sounds even more wild and wonderful on this 2LP edition.

Originally released in 1968, the album is a bold, theatrical, and totally unhinged fusion of chanson, jazz, and experimental poetry.

From the opening track “Il pleut” to the haunting “L'été l'été,” Fontaine’s voice weaves through Areski Belkacem’s free-form instrumentation with fearless intensity. “Ragilia” dances with chaotic rhythm, while “L'homme objet” throws gender norms and structure out the window with delightful irreverence. Every track here is a beautiful act of rebellion—against genre, against expectation, and sometimes against logic itself.

The expanded 2LP format gives this cult classic room to breathe and resonate with all its surreal, poetic weight. Fontaine isn’t just singing—she’s conjuring alternate realities, whispering secrets, and screaming truths that still feel revolutionary today.

Fans of boundary-breaking music will find Brigitte Fontaine Est Folle a deliciously disorienting ride. It’s unpredictable, magnetic, and 100% unapologetic. If you like your vinyl collection with a side of anarchy and elegance, this one’s a must-have. Madame Fontaine may be “folle,” but she’s also absolutely genius.
