About This Song
About "Toujours Gai (From "Shinbone Alley")" by Eartha Kitt
From Shinbone Alley, Kitt delivers a cabaret strut with a melancholy core. 'Toujours Gai' means always cheerful—a mandate she performs with brittle precision. The jaunty rhythm feels like a mask held in place by willpower, joy as a daily, exhausting discipline.
