Here are two albums via our pal Joe Taxi from Monsieur Benjamin Biolay who has been touted - by his PR agents anyway! - as the new Serge Gainsbourg!
Big fucking claim! Check out these albums below and work out if it's remotely true!
Benjamin Biolay, born January 20, 1973, is a French singer, songwriter, musician, actor and record producer. He is the brother of singer Coralie Clément, whose two albums he wrote and produced, and the ex-husband of Chiara Mastroianni, the daughter of Catherine Deneuve and Marcello Mastroianni.
Biolay is considered one of the most exciting talents in French music and someone who has helped change the course of French pop over the past few years. His recorded output has already earned him the 'new Serge Gainsbourg' tag in his homeland and acrossEurope .

His low-key vocal style is somewhat similar to French pop star Étienne Daho. With the singer Keren Ann, whose first two albums he co-wrote and produced, he contributed several songs to Chambre avec Vue, the successful comeback album of singer Henri Salvador, and has since worked as a writer, arranger or producer for other icons of French music, including Juliette Gréco, Julien Clerc and Françoise Hardy.

Biolay's debut solo album appeared in 2001 and he has steadily built a catalogue of five star albums since, including the soundtrack to "Clara et moi" with his wife Chiara Mastroianni which includes the single "Dans la merco benz".
He wrote or performed most of the songs on the 2004 soundtrack to Clara et Moi by Arnaud Viard, and released the album Home with his wife the same year.
