Two solo albums, two gold records. With “Matriochka” and “Meilleure vie”, Jérémy Frerot learned to find his way, his own, after the phenomenal success of the group Fréro Delavega and then its separation. Armed with his skin-deep sensitivity, the interpreter of “Un homme” decided, at the dawn of his return with a third album, to open the doors of his intimacy as rarely. “ I took a two-year break, I needed to take time for myself, to fill myself up, because I was empty. And it worked well. I have experienced many things, difficult and happy. And at one point, I felt the need to get this story out of myself. It wasn’t easy » he explains in the columns of Parisian. This story that he modestly evokes is that of his breakup with Laure Manaudou. With the swimming champion, the singer has experienced a close love since their meeting in early 2015 during a Fréro Delavega concert. From their marriage two children were born, Lou (6 years old) and Sacha (3 years old). It is to them that he addresses in his cathartic new single, “Adieu”.

“It’s a love letter about a separation”
According to Jérémy Frerot, this song co-written with Laurent Lamarca, mixed by Marlon B (Juliette Armanet, Louane…) is “him”. exit from the guts “. “ In a quarter of an hour, my fever reached 40 degrees. I was shaking, but I recorded it. The next day, I didn’t really remember what I had done. (…) It did me good, it was therapeutic. As someone who is quite introverted, this unblocked me in a certain way. I wrote a lot afterwards » confides the 34-year-old artist, who didn’t really hesitate to open up in this way: ” It’s not a horrible song about my life, it’s more of a love letter about a breakup, something quite positive “. The one who describes himself as “ a really involved dad » is proud to address a subject rarely discussed in music, that of a “ father who divorces and takes care of his children, every other week » : « The song is almost word for word what I said to my children when, with Laure, we announced it to them. Mom and Dad remain friends and we will remain a team. There was love that created you and there is love that raises you, it’s different but just as powerful “.
A poignant text that Jérémy Frerot sings with his heart, tears in the corners of his eyes, in the clip illustrating “Adieu”, all in sobriety and sincerity. This intimate piece, “ more of a comma than a full stop “, serves to prepare the ground for the arrival of his third album, planned ” in September » and which will be followed by a new tour throughout France. A first concert at La Cigale, in Paris, has already been announced for March 13, 2025!
