Mathieu Boogaerts questions the passing of time

Mathieu Boogaerts has been talking about love and the passing of time for almost 30 years in his syncopated songs. With this look of an eternal teenager for an artist who has nevertheless published 8 studio albums, 3 live albums, written songs for Zaz, Camélia Jordana, Vanessa Paradis, Luce, and given more than 1000 concerts around the world, it’s calls a career.

For several years, Mathieu Boogaerts has gotten into the habit of bringing his songs to life in concert before recording them. And it is therefore live that the new titles from his next album Grand Piano have developed. A record that the singer wanted to be more musically fleshed out than its predecessors. Could this be the album of famous maturity, after almost 30 years of career?!
