IMPOSTEUR (CD édition limitée, version noire)

Description

CD inserted in a 3-panel cardboard package, rigid in structure, with printed inner sleeve and 16-page booklet 17 tracks + 2 exclusive bonus tracks (“Je te promets” / “L'ange déchu”) 17 years ago Julien won Nouvelle Star 2007. Revisiting other people’s songs, by transforming the way they were approached, was deeply new at the time. “Imposteur” is a full circle almost 20 years later; has the hair clip rusted in this hair that has grown, in an era that no longer knows how to distinguish the fake from the real, the beautiful from the ugly, imposture from legitimacy. Linking the present moment to the history of memories. That’s what Imposteur is, after all. Months of work in the studio, chatting on Instagram or Whatsapp with K-maro, Sharon Stone, the L5, Philippe Risoli, Francis Cabrel and so many others to tell them about the idea for a project, the desire to play with the timelessness of their songs, to invite them to sing others, or simply share a moment. That’s how Sharon, Francis or Hélène come to share 3 duets with him on this record. From Cuitas les bananas to Mourir sur scène, via Toutes les femmes de ta vie, Un homme heureux or Moi Lolita, the approach is the same, a return to the future where as long as there are songs, as long as we have the right to sing them, something in us will not die.
