Pierre Garnier has seen his life change completely since he entered the “Star Academy” castle, almost a year ago. On Saturday, the winner of the show will be on Nikos Aliagas’ set to welcome the students of the new class who are preparing to follow in his footsteps. And like him, perhaps seduce the French! Released in June, Pierre’s first album, boosted by the hits “Ceux qu’on été” and “Nous on sais”, has just crossed the symbolic threshold of 100,000 sales in France. “ Initially, I went to the “Star Academy” for two weeks of fun and it turned into three intense months (Laughs). I didn’t expect all that, you can’t expect it. It’s pretty crazy. I’m living it, I’m trying to make the most of it, we’ll see how long it lasts, I hope for a long time » confides the 23-year-old singer in an interview to be published tomorrow on Purechartshe who will launch his first solo tour in January 2025.

“I’m very happy to have been able to meet him”
In order to extend this wonderful welcome, Pierre Garnier has chosen to release a new excerpt from his album for the fall. And not just any song: it’s the title “Every second”, remixed as a duet with M. Pokora! “ We met at the “Star Ac” prime since he came to sing. When I left, I did a lot of radio sets and he was often there too. We talked a little from time to time and one day he told me that “Every Second” was his favorite song on the album. I told him I was keen to sing it together. It came like that. We did a studio session and the flow went so well right away that we did it » attests the interpreter of the title “Les mots” to our microphone, delighted with this first collaboration: “ I am very happy to have been able to meet him, to have been able to talk with him and to know him well today. ».
EXCLUDED – Star Academy: here is the anthem of the new season (and you will be surprised!)
While the title marks a great debut on the radio (29th), Pierre Garnier and M. Pokora play with the colors of the season in the music video for “Every Second”, where they sing about contrasting love in a theater setting, near a planisphere and a globe, with dancers in the background, displaying their beautiful complicity: “ I have traveled the world, I have crossed the years / Without ever forgetting you… “. Asked by Purecharts about the negative comments that may have arisen upon the announcement of this duo, Pierre Garnier prefers to remain philosophical: “ Sometimes there are reviews that are very interesting. I can use them because I find them constructive. Sometimes I listen to people who say that they didn’t like something and I tell myself that I could have done that differently. “. Good news, this version of “Every second” begins the arrival of a reissue for Pierre’s first album, which will be released on November 22 with four unreleased tracks.
