At 80 years old, the French pop star Michel Polnareff, with his always so recognizable voice and her sense of melody, reveals herself as never before in an eleventh album entitled “A time for them”, published on April 25. women who have marked her life are in the spotlight.
“A time for them”, the eleventh album of Michel Polnareff, is available in the plural feminine for all the women who have marked the life of the French artist. The song “A time for her”, on the other hand, is available in the singular, dedicated to a particular love, a more important link than the others.

Love remains the favorite theme of Michel Polnareff who, since his beginnings in 1966 with the album “Love Me, Please Love Me”, sings universal love stories. From this point of view, “a time for them” is different. The singer evokes his experience, difficult passages from his intimate life, of destroyed love, regrets, but also of hope.
“A time for them” is a rather short album, made up of eight titles, including four songs and four instrumental solo songs, on the piano. A format that may surprise, but whose artist justifies the choice, recently declaring in an interview with Radio France, having always had problems with the words, his weak point.
Sex and gender
When Michel Polnareff returns to voice, he also sings, and again, sex, physical pleasure, as he already did in 1966 in “Love with you”, in 1989 in “Goodbye Marylou”. In this eleventh album, there is also a question of sex, but also of gender identity. In the title “Sexcetera”, he sings word games defending the respect and recognition of “almost they and the almost they”, as a revival of global controversy linked to inclusiveness.
