Comme à la radio

Comme à la radio is the fourth album by experimental French singer Brigitte Fontaine, recorded with Areski Belkacem (in their first collaboration) and the Art Ensemble of Chicago.^[1] It was released in 1970 on the Saravah label after a series of concerts in 1969. It is Fontaine's most famous album, and is well-known outside France thanks to the laudatory comments Sonic Youth made about it.

The album received the Grand Prix du Disque of the Académie Charles Cros that same year.
