5:55 is the second album by French musician and actress Charlotte Gainsbourg. It was also her first album in twenty years. Charlotte collaborated on the album with French duo Air, English musician Jarvis Cocker, and Irish singer-songwriter Neil Hannon, and Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich. “The Songs That We Sing” and “5:55” were released as singles. The album went platinum in France, selling over 500,000 copies. In the United States, the album sold 22,000 copies. “The Songs That We Sing” was #78 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007.

To distance herself from her famous father and mother (Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin),[citation needed] Charlotte sang most of the album in English. In France, the album received critical acclaim. Pitchfork described its erotic lyrical content as reminiscent of Serge Gainsbourg’s, and Charlotte’s vocal approach as similar to that of her mother
