The thirty-something abandons his tinsel of charming singer to initiate a turning point with songs “concerned” by the march of the world.


Extract launched as a scout at the very beginning of the summer,

La Fièvre

was struck by the change of gear operated by Julien Doré.

"

I no longer want to write about the sorrows that the feminine has caused me

", he sings in the first verse of the piece, placed at the opening of

Aimée

, the fifth album of the former winner of the "Nouvelle Star" .

Which is now involved in relevant texts, inspired by the march of the world.

Although written before confinement, the texts of

La Fièvre

and

La Bise are

striking in their topicality, as if they were premonitory of the crisis we have been going through since March.

"

The Fever

, Julien Doré

After two very successful albums -

Love

and

&

-

Aimée

, which bears the first name of the singer's maternal grandmother, aged 99, is one of the most anticipated records of this fall.

It contrasts quite radically with the singer's past production.

&

, which sold 600,000 copies and had allowed Doré to perform at Bercy, marked the end of a cycle: the songs were very similar to those of his previous record, the formula was a little out of breath .

Now permanently installed in the Cévennes, Julien Doré has changed his tune, and avoided repetition with

Aimée

, who has the finery of a transition disc.

The writing is more assertive and more personal, a paradox insofar as it is his least self-centered project.

At 38, Doré intends to follow in the footsteps of his avowed models, Christophe, who died last April, and Francis Cabrel.

Like him, he could well continue to triumph without playing the game of Parisian showbiz, and by remaining very discreet about his private life.
