We heart Beck for his sickly talented musicianship, predilection for experimenting with quirky instruments, and a kooky personality.
That said, we really didn't see him going all sappy on us....or pulling a Serge Gainsbourg.
More over, we didn't think we'd like it if he tried!
And yet, here he is - teamed up with the equally quirky French chanteuse/actress, Charlotte Gainsbourg (daughter of 60s singer Serge and Jane Birkin (yup, who inspired the Birkin bag,) - in the sweet, swayable ditty called "Heaven Can Wait."
For romantics, this is pretty much a match made in indie music heaven, a modern Serge Gainsbourg song for love bugs.
"Heaven Can Wait" is part of Gainsbourg's upcoming LP IRM, which is Beck-produced, out Jan 26th.

“My question to you is that why do you mess with white girls when you yourself aren't completely white?”

“Your voice sounds so sexy in this absolutely fresh song!”

“I really like you doing pure pop music like this song, but the problem with it is that it encourages the white culture and wants it to be exclusive to you and Britney, etc. etc. You stayed away from that sin in your second solo album and it is easier for someone like me to look at you as an artist and a friend now. I am just saying that I want pop culture to be inclusive and you have done a lot towards that end.”

“That's cool. I was watching your three movies, "Alpha Dog," "Southerland Tales," "Black Snake Moan" nonstop last night and tonight and I can't learn enough from your sensitivity to the lower class. I have a lot to learn from you as someone that uses his gifts for the betterment of the society. I am so inspired by the roles that you pick and even wish to follow in your tracks someday on the big screen.”
