After six months of absence, Kendji Girac made a double media return this weekend for the release of his new album “Vivre…”. During the final of “The Voice Kids” on TF1, the 28-year-old singer performed his song “Si only…”, addressed to the public, on the piano in the middle of candles, before pouring out his thoughts on Laurent’s set Delahousse in the show “8:30 p.m. on Sunday”. For the first time since his gunshot wound which almost cost him his life, the gypsy artist agreed to talk about this tragedy with serious consequences. “ After several periods of silence, the question everyone is asking is: how are you? » asked the presenter of France 2, after the broadcast of a report on his first reappearance in public. “ I’m doing very well, I’m very happy. More than ever. With everything that’s happened, you have to know… What do we say again? “After the rain, comes the good weather.” Right now, I really feel like sunshine. In all my smiles, it shows. You can see how much I want to live. I want to light this path » assured the interpreter of “Encore” with Florent Pagny, solemn.

“There are songs where I cried when I sang them”
If Kendji Girac is doing better and has been able to put an end to his excesses, it is thanks to the support of his “ family », son « entourage » and the many fans who showed their support during his convalescence. “ It’s thanks to all the people who send me positive messages that really touch me. It’s because of love » insists the one who transformed this ordeal into creative force. Music was like a refuge for the artist. “ It’s my most personal album. I put all my heart into it, I sang this album with a lot of emotion each time. There are songs where I cried when I sang them, for example “If only”. There were times when I sang with a little tear. We didn’t need to sing it a second time » revealed the singer, who wanted to address his audience on the title “If only…”. “ I had to take charge and really tell them what I wanted to tell them. In life, you can have ups and downs, the most important thing is to get back up as quickly as possible. Realize that people love us. There is a lot of love! So you have to grasp it to be able to become stronger again » advocates Kendji.
“I want to be the foundation of my family”
In his album, Kendji Girac notably dedicates the song “J’ai changed” to his wife Soraya. “ I changed for you, I changed so much, I made my choice, for a thousand years, I changed infinitely » he sings to her like a promise. “ The songs made me say a lot of things I couldn’t have said. This text is addressed to my wife because I thought about her a lot when I recorded this song. I was very moved to be able to sing this to her, to be able to comfort her with these words, because they are quite strong words, and above all true, which once again come from the heart » explained the former winner of “The Voice”, happy to have been able to count on the understanding of his partner. The singer also took the opportunity to settle scores with the press. “ She has always been there from the beginning, she is a very strong woman, contrary to what has been said in the media. We were a little shocked by what was said. So I had to tell him that I have changed and that I want to do good things » he told Laurent Delahousse.
