It all started in 2000 with Before leavinga song that reaches fourth place in sales and marks the debut of Eve Angeli in French song. In an interview with the podcast Face A from Purecharts that our colleagues from the site chartsinfrance.net listened to, the artist revealed an unexpected interpretation of this title, often perceived as a love song. “Leave me some of you before you go, actually it’s before you die. People have always taken it as a love song, but it's really an outlet for my fear of death. she confides.
This success stems from a collaboration with M6, which spotted her in the show Star Seeds. This single allowed Eve Angeli to conquer a large audience, propelling her musical career. But its impact does not stop there: the massive sales of Before leaving also marked an economic turning point for the artist, generating substantial income and transforming his artistic success into a real financial springboard.

An artistic…and financial springboard
Eve Angeli does not hide the positive financial impact of this first success: “From a financial point of view, it's like winning the lottery. I was able to invest in my house. This success allowed me to find accommodation.» At a time when income from music could still guarantee long-term financial securitythe impressive sales ofBefore leaving offered the singer lasting comfort.
However, the story of this hit was not without its hiccups. Eve Angeli says she didn't like the final remix that made the song famous. She would have preferred a more pop-rock version : «I wanted something more pop-rock and I came up with something street, bordering on R&B. But I was right to trust them!

The other side of the coin
And Before leaving propelled Eve Angeli to the top in 2000, the transition to a second album proved more complicated. In 2002, Our differences does not meet the same enthusiasmwith only 50,000 copies sold. The artist attributes this decline to a loss of media support: “When I didn't have all these media in continuity, I had a very bad experience. Like a wayward child, I wondered why you don’t support me anymore?”
Despite this low period, Eve Angeli approaches her journey philosophically. She sees these challenges as formative experiences that strengthened her resilience, both artistically and financially. “This is what makes me stronger”she confides, emphasizing the importance of learning to bounce back from the ups and downs of a musical career.
