「曾經，他的愛彩繪了我的人生…當愛逝去的同時，那些色彩將不再豔麗。」─珍寶金Jane Birkin
愛情，豐滿了她的人生，孕育出她性感純真的聲音。頂著自然娃娃頭的招牌造型，珍寶金Jane Birkin在六、七零年代那戰後西方性解放紙醉金迷的歲月裡，於法國影歌壇織出一段不朽的英倫傳奇。若說她的音樂是因愛而生也不為過，1992年七月Jane Birkin在Francofolies de la Rochelle結束巡迴演出時，將麥克風平放在舞台地板上，象徵她對於法國作曲家暨歌手Serge Gainsbourg愛與音樂的告別。而這段情緣韻事也是法國人對她念念不忘，有著特殊情感的原因之一。
Jane Birkin於1996年復出歌壇，推出專輯《Versions Jane》，與多位著名音樂人重新編曲詮釋15首Jane Birkin與Serge Gainsbourg兩人歷年所交織而成的經典曲目；1998年的專輯作品《A La Légère》，雖非出自Serge Gainsbourg之手，但音符依舊充斥著他不羈放蕩、螺旋於性愛與菸草間的濃厚味道。千禧年過後Jane Birkin的音樂，開始譜上嶄新的韻味，2004年集合了波提斯黑樂團Portishead主唱Beth Gibbons、巴西樂壇教父Caetano Veloso等堅強陣容推出《Rendez-Vouz》一輯；到了2006年的專輯《Fiction》，Jane Birkin則再度與Beth Gibbons合作，並網羅Rufus Wainwright、Neil Hannon等頂尖創作人助陣，翻唱包括Kate Bush、Tom Waits、Neil Young等人的經典曲目，而《Fiction》也將Jane Birkin的音樂推向全新領域。
2008年，Jane Birkin在結束了世界巡迴演唱及電影拍攝工作後，籌備並錄製推出了全新法文專輯《冬天的孩子Enfants D'hiver》。專輯延續《Fiction》弛放、飄逸的獨特風格，首支單曲〈Période Bleue〉，有著Jane Birkin最為熟稔的敘事口吻；在〈Pourquoi〉、 〈Je Suis Au Bord De Ta Fenêtre〉裡，優柔的鋼琴伴隨著Jane Birkin迷幻般的氣音；〈Maison Étoilée〉頑皮輕盈的編曲與Jane Birkin慵懶的詮釋，形成趣味對比；〈Maison Étoilée〉鬼魅的氛圍與呼吸聲，則不禁令人浮現一幕幕黑白交織的畫面；而歌詠諾貝爾得主翁山蘇姬的同名曲〈Aung San Suu Kyi〉，Jane Birkin的口白充分表現她人道主義與關懷的一面。
正如Jane Birkin所說，這張由Jane Birkin親自填詞完成的新輯《Enfants D'hiver》，12首獨立敘述的故事，將勾勒出12種不同的聆聽情緒與感性色彩。

” 2008 French language album from the famed actress/singer best known for her hit duet with Serge Gainsbourg, ‘Je t’aime (Moi Non Plus)’, in 1969. Enfants D’Hiver has s similar chilled out, ethereal sound to her 2006 album Fictions yet stands … Full Descriptionon it’s own legs and proves to be a welcome release from the darling diva. In 1992, Birkin gave up singing, saying she could not imagine working with anyone other than Gainsbourg who had passed away the year before. Instead she focused on her family and her humanitarian work. She returned to music in 1998 and has since recorded a number of albums including Arabesque (interpretations of Serges’ songs), Rendez-vous (an album of duets with artist including Feist, Bryan Ferry and Beth Gibbons) and Fictions (songs written by artists including Magic Numbers, Neil Young, Rufus Wainwright and more).”

Jane 出生在一個貴族家庭。父親是英國有名望家族的後裔，擔任皇家海軍的指揮官。母親裘蒂•甘伯爾是聲譽卓著的女演員，英國著名劇作家Noel Coward所鍾愛的繆斯。Jane是典型的中產傳統家庭的孩子。而Serge Gainsbourg是藝術界的唐璜，出名的花花公子，喜歡流連於各種狂野派對和前衛俱樂部。
但60年代，是一個充滿偶然性與可能性的年代。Jane所居住的倫敦正迎來一個追求時髦與享樂的年代，英國藝術界幾乎在一夜之間繁榮起來。簡追隨母親的腳步進入表演界。劇院的舞臺無法吸引她，她轉向了電影界，1967，享譽世界的義大利電影導演米開朗基羅•安東尼奧尼找到了她，選派這個害羞又笨拙的少女出演影片Blow Up(《放大》) ，這部影片在1967年的戛納電影節上獲得了金棕櫚大獎。
1968年，無論在Jane Birkin私人生活中還是在事業上，都是具有歷史意義的轉捩點。這一年，法國導演Pierre Grimblat正為自己的影片Slogan四處物色一名年輕的英國女演員。Jane幾乎是孤注一擲，穿越隧道前往法國，參加角色競爭的試鏡，堅定的離開了英國。
在法國貓王Serge Gainsbourg的懷抱裡，她就是Jane，羞澀又放蕩的女孩兒Jane。在全世界時尚拜物狂眼中，是Hermés最熱銷的Birkin Bag。在音樂圈，她是軟性性感的代名詞，呻吟般的歌唱、沙啞的嗓音帶著孩童般的純天然性感。
Jane的韻味是法國香水的味道，神秘，浪漫，以及突然迸發的激情。其實有時並不能確定她的聲音，Yesterday Yes A Day讓人聽了耳朵根發麻，而L’Aquoiboniste則優美感性，至於Je t'aime, moi non plus ，那在暗處如波濤般起伏的呻吟，絕對挑逗你的欲望和靈魂……有的人只需要憑一首歌就足以打動你，而Jane Birkin就是這樣的，何況她還那麼活色生香。Serge Gainsbourg筆下的詩意、幽默、挑釁及情愛，經Jane的歌聲發揚光大。
Jane Birkin還自己寫歌，她的專輯 Ex-fan des sixties中同名歌曲被評論家都認為是法國香頌的點睛之作。而專輯中的另一首歌曲l'Aquoiboniste後來也成了Gainsbourg的標誌之一。這首超現實主義風格的歌曲，充滿奇異費解的雙關語，它無疑證明了Gainsbourg堪稱同時代最具天賦的歌曲創作者。而Jane無疑又是演繹其乖戾卻富於文學氣息的歌詞的最佳人選。
he second child of Major David Birkin and actress/singer Judy Campbell, Jane was born in London on December 14th, 1946. With a happy family, a childhood spent in the countryside, vacations to the Isle of Wight and boarding school classes, Jane was tame and well-behaved until the sixties revolution . . .
As a teenager, a miniskirted Chelsea girl, Jane embraced the pop excitement of « Swinging London ». Following in her mother’s footsteps, she started auditioning. Noticed by Binky Beaumont, she made her acting debut at seventeen at the Haymarket Theater playing a young deaf-mute in Carving a Statue by Graham Greene.
But it was in a musical, Passion Flower Hotel, at the Prince of Wales Theater, that she made her singing debut. She auditioned for the part encouraged by composer John Barry, author of the James Bond 007 theme and whom she ended up marrying at nineteen. After a first movie experience in Richard Lester’s The Knack, she was hired by Antonioni who was shooting Blow Up, which later received the Palme d’Or Award at the Cannes international film festival. This movie also created her first controversy brief scene, where she appeared naked; it was the talk of London.
After the failure of marrying too young and the birth of her daughter Kate in 1967, she decided to move to France. Recruited by French filmmaker Pierre Grimblat to star in his movie Slogan, it was love at first sight between Jane and her costar Serge Gainsbourg, a popular singer and musician.
A fashionable couple on the Paris scene, they made the headlines in 1969 with a artfully disturbing song, “Je t’aime moi non plus” Offending to some people, a delight to others, Jane’s sensuous lovemaking sighs became a hit around the world.
A fragile, thin voice always on the verge of breaking remained her lasting trademark and was cleverly used by Gainsbourg who adapted his songwriting to Jane’s timbre. He composed especially for her and shaped her according to his desires. They stayed together for twelve years, becoming a popular couple, adulated by the public and the media. In 1971, they had a daughter, Charlotte, who is now an actress.
During this happy period, Jane played in some thirty movies, including many comedies, a few detective films and one masterpieceCthe first movie directed by Serge, Je t’aime moi non plus (1975). At the same time, she went on with her singing career, recording four albums which built her image as a sometimes sexy sometimes wistful Lolita, best showcased in her 1978 hit LP Ex-fan des sixties. In the early eighties, her personal life and career came to a watershed as she separated from Serge Gainsbourg and wanted to break away from her image of a “funny English girl”. Behind her laughing, scatty naivet? and her British accent so delightfully amusing and sexy to French ears, there was an anxious, distressed and insomniac woman trying to come out. This facet of her personality was reflected in several films d’auteur, especially those by Jacques Doillon, from La Fille prodigue to La Pirate. From Doillon she had her third daughter, Lou, born in 1982.
Serge Gainsbourg continued composing for her, but his songs became solemn, complex and subtle. Their album Baby alone in Babylone was a smash hit in 1983. Meanwhile, Jane pursued her movie career, but the films she played in were few and far between. She was in search of new experiences: she directed a TV feature film and ventured on stage for recitals.
In 1987, she gave her first gig at Le Bataclan, a former Parisian music hall, and, gradually, by establishing a rapport with her audiences, she developed a taste for the stage. She dreamt of acting and singing in a musical. She performed at Le Casino de Paris in 1991 two month after Gainsbourg’s death and dedicated the concert to him. She also paid tribute to him in London in September 1994 at a charity event at the Savoy Theater, to give him recognition in her home country.
She wanted to do away with the “scandal Jane” image she had had in England since her infamous debut, and, in 1995, she played Andromache in The Trojan Women by Euripides at the National Theater.
In 1996 the album Version Jane is a final tribute to Gainsbourg including a potpourri of his songs, which Jane performed at the Paris music temple L’Olympia. She took them on tour in the spring of 1997, with a stop at the London Royal Festival Hall.
In 1998, she released her first album without Serge Gainsbourg “A la legere” with songs written by 12 contemporary French song writers, such as Daho, Art Mengo, Chamfort, Lavoine, Zazie, Souchon/Voulzy, Francois Hardy…. This album is followed in 1999 by the release of "The Best of Jane Birkin".
In 1999, Jane Birkin met the musician Djamel Benyelles show “orientalised” a few of Gainsbourg’s titles such as “Elisa”, "Couleur Caf'e" or “Comment te dire adieu”. This project is first presented at the Festival d’Avignon in 1999. This concert was presented a few weeks ago at the legendary Theatre de l’Odeon. The success was phenomenal.
