Amours des feintes is an album by Jane Birkin. The album was released in 1990 and was the last original album of songs written by Serge Gainsbourg. This duo was described by Karim Demigneux as "a cabbage-headed man and an Englishwoman on the continent", adding that "when it comes to French song, there's almost nothing better".
On the cover of the album, there is a portrait of Birkin. Gainsbourg made it while he was in an emotional state of mind, and that's why there are stains on the drawing because of the breaking of the pen.
