17 years ago, Julien won Nouvelle Star 2007. Revisiting other people's songs, by transforming their approach, was profoundly new for the time. "Imposteur" is a full circle nearly 20 years later; has the hair clip rusted in this grown hair, in an era that can no longer distinguish fake from real, beautiful from ugly, imposture from legitimacy? Connecting the present moment to the history of memories. That's what Imposteur is, ultimately. Months of studio work, discussing 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 to share a moment. This is how Sharon, Francis, and Hélène come to share three duets with him on this album. From Cuitas les bananas to Mourir sur scène, passing through Toutes les femmes de ta vie, Un homme heureux, or Moi Lolita, the approach is identical: a return to the future where as long as there are songs, as long as we have the right to sing them, something within us will not die.
