Swing returns with "F5" before his first Olympia Swing unveils "F5", his second album. Produced by Armand Tournier, the record does not tell the story of a clean reset, but of an inner restart: beginning again without erasing the traces, moving forward with grief, love, lack, guilt, and what we have not always known how to say.
The guests are not there for decoration. On "AMOUR&MANQUE", aupinard extends the song’s loving momentum and gives it an almost spiritual dimension, between desire, absence, and the need to be heard. On « LES MEMES PRIERES", CRC brings back a harsher, more brotherly voice, marked by hardship and transmission, while Lafleyne suspends the track in something more fragile, like a prayer addressed to the sky. With Mandy on "LA MAISON", the album finds one of its most concrete images: refuge, apologies, the rain returning, and the idea that a person can become a place.
"F5" is an album of lucid, sensitive reconstruction, never frozen in complaint. In it, Swing seeks less to turn the page than to learn how to live with what it contains.
