Description

IRM is the third studio album by French electropop singer Charlotte Gainsbourg, with all songs written and produced by Beck except Le Chat Du Café Des Artistes (written by Jean-Pierre Ferland). The album title was inspired by the French initialism for an MRI scanner. The title track was released as a free download on 9 October 2009. The album was mostly recorded at Becks home studio in Los Angeles, California. The lead single is Heaven Can Wait, a duet with Beck, and was released on 2 November. The music video for Heaven Can Wait was directed by Keith Schofield and was released on 19 November 2009. The video for Heaven Can Wait was named one of the Top 20 best music videos of 2009 by Spin Magazine.

According to Gainsbourg, IRM was Becks view of what I had gone through, and not mine.
