Nouveau Souffle

Description

Claudio Capéo’s NEW ALBUM "Nouveau souffle", INCLUDING THE TRACKS "MADAME" AND "QU’EST-CE QU’IL ME RESTERA?" A multi-award-winning artist with over 1.5 million albums sold, Claudio Capéo has established himself as one of the most unique and beloved voices on the French music scene. "One day, all sadness will end," wrote one of the great poets of the 21st century. Listening to his new album, one can't help but believe that Claudio Capéo has composed its soundtrack. Because behind the gentle melancholy of his songs, there is always a glimmer of hope, an energy that lifts and unites. With this new opus, Claudio delivers a testimony of rare sincerity. This "new breath," whether from the accordion or from lungs given a new lease of life, is there to give a voice to the forgotten (Speranza, Qui a dit ça) and help them sing, cry out for their dreamed, fantasized outcome. Closer to us than ever, both modern and timeless, Claudio breathes authenticity like his alter ego, the accordion, and draws from the breath of the streets, bruised lives, and drifting souls (L’ombre de moi-même, Qu’est-ce qu’il me restera?). He chants his choruses like in spoken word, mixing modern poetry with folk variety, surrounded by talented authors and composers (Gilles Dorn, Mosimann, Paul École, Daysy, Joseph Kamel, but also Mendelevitch and Teddy Bear…), thus exploring new territories without ever denying his identity. His accordion, his lifelong companion, also gets a second youth. Alongside Claudio, it transforms, breathes differently, and opens up to other horizons. The first single, Madame, is the most beautiful illustration of this: a love confession where the singer breaks down his armor to find a new breath, as well as new inspiration. This title, like Fou de toi, resonates like an admission, a confession, but also as a celebration of imperfect loves, those that weather storms and feed on their humanity. Other tracks like Rêve or Dis-moi venture into more electro and pop territories, while the intro Nouveau souffle sets the tone for an album inhabited by the desire to renew itself. And how can we not mention that husky, intense voice, which carries both the echo of adolescence (Ta quinzaine, Le temps), its dreams and its disillusions? With Nouveau souffle, Claudio Capéo invites us to look back to move forward better, to retain the essentials before they escape. Over its 15 tracks, Claudio reinvents himself without betraying himself, offering vibrant and unifying popular music. More than an album: a new breath, a vital force that further reveals the strength of his style and his instrument.
