5:55 is the second album by French musician and actress 
Charlotte Gainsbourg. It is also her first album release 
in twenty years. Charlotte collaborated on the album with 
French duo Air, English musician Jarvis Cocker, Irish 
singer-songwriter Neil Hannon as well as Radiohead's main 
producer Nigel Godrich. "The Songs That We Sing" and "5:55" 
were released as singles. The album went platinum in France, 
selling over 300,000 copies.

In order to be able to take her distance from her famous 
father and mother (Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin) the 
singer has decided to sing in English most of the album 
(leaving only one song in French, Tel Que Tu Es, meaning 
As You Are). Critics have been very positive in France, 
describing this effort as a total achievement from all 
points of view. Anglo-saxon critics have been more mixed, 
saying that Charlotte's second album doesn't sound different 
enough from her parents' work, maybe because Charlotte's 
voice is very similar to that of her mother, Jane Birkin.
