Don't start Whities on the music, or on the concerts, he can talk to you about them for hours. And at the same time, it's a treat to listen to him as he is so keen ! This musician author, composer and performer from Lille, which you may know for its Christmas title, “Pop Christmas”, is (finally) releasing its album, Reality does not exist, et is preparing a tour for 2025.

Nine years of work for a “beautiful object” that seduces

This is a very strong moment for Whities, who has just completed his album at the end of 2024. The artist finally delivers his album composed of 21 tracks (!), after years of work. “This album is nine years of my life,” confides the artist, who took care to think, work and refine each title.

“Beyond the music, I really wanted to create a beautiful object,” he adds. Because in addition tolisten onlineyou can discover the album of the northerner on CD and vinyl. Moreover, the first ones put on the shelves went like hotcakes! “I just called to get another round,” Whities explained at the beginning of December, still on cloud nine, while “almost 200,000 streams were recorded in the space of 3 days. It's crazy! »

The Whities recipe… and its surprises

In this album, which sounds like a invitation to dream“as if this reality, a little dark sometimes, ultimately did not exist”, we find already known titles, such as “La Folie Belle” (2019). Whities delivers an “intimate, sunny self-portrait filled with freshness [accessible aux] earthlings from 7 to 777 years old. We keep this common thread of acid pop. But I put something very personal into it,” admits the artist.

The world of Whities is full of positivity and vibe which makes up its identity, but that does not prevent it from tackling serious or even difficult subjects, against a backdrop ofself-acceptance and toleranceas we heard in the very hot “Red Hot”. He takes “Hate Me” as an example, which he wanted to keep in the chosen pieces. In these pieces he defends values ​​that are close to his heart, without boasting about them, in a modest and delicate approach.

A tour in preparation

If Whities has devoted himself fully to creation in recent times, he has his sights set on the stage. He thought of titles like “Checkmate” for the liveand is already seeing how to present others. “The most difficult thing in the end is choosing which titles to play, because we have limited time,” he smiles. A whole staging was imagined for this show which will travel the roads of France next year.

Whities is currently drawing on positive feedback from listeners, and plans to take advantage of the holiday season, before devoting himself to what's next: the 2025 tour to complete. “There are already dates set, it looks very good. Others to be confirmed.” A new stage that begins. And which still promises to be very intense. But isn’t that, after all, what makes the life of an artist so delicious?
