Having just released his twelfth studio album Blue Electric Lightthe artist recounted his love at first sight for the mother of Lily-Rose and Jack.
“I literally fell in love. And then France was one of the first countries to adopt my music. I remember being invited to the Trans Musicales in Rennes and everything came together. I spent more and more time in Paris, I met Vanessa Paradis, we made music together. I was coming and going, then I finally found a place of my own. It’s actually the only city where I own a house (editor’s note: photos of a private mansion). The rest of the time I am in nature, in my two other homes, in Brazil and the Bahamas.” he confided. Looking back on his current relationship with the singer of the title Divine Idyllhe adds : “I love her and, most of all, I love Vanessa. We are very friends, almost family. I still see her, we talk…“
An iconic couple from the 90s
We also learn that their meeting was initiated by the singer who wanted to meet him to talk about a musical collaboration. Together they worked on the eponymous record Vanessa Paradis released in 1992.”The genesis of this record remains a wonderful memory. She had heard Let Loce Rule, Mama Sail and wanted to work with me. I didn’t know who she was when I arrived in Paris. Someone from my label explained to me that she wanted to meet me. I found her in the studio, she had just finished Variations on the same t’aime that Serge Gainsbourg had written for her – here’s another one of which I’m a big fan… I had also come across the Tandem clip, directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino, one of my favorite clips. I said to myself, this girl is very interesting, very sweet. We started working together, before falling madly in love“, confided the singer to be found this evening on the 8:30 p.m. set on Sunday on France 2 with Laurent Delahousse. A story which remains engraved in his memory
