    January 14, 2020:  It’s been a few weeks now that we worked on my first album with Vincha, always at night, often after a pizza and with a good bottle of wine. That night, it went really fast.

    I had the idea “je suis bien, tellement bien, je n’ai plus peur, je n’ai plus doute”, a happy and simple love song, about when you feel in the right place. He got down to the piano, he already had melody pulses, and we played together, his hands and my voice. As always, at the end we looked at each other and thought, “Do you think this is good? Do you think it looks like me? “, Then we fell asleep eager to listen again, in the morning. The next day, on the bus, I knew we had done it. He also knew it. That this song would be on my album.

    “Le jour rève” is therefore the second single from this record that I have been refining for over a year, in calm and stormy conditions.
