Guest on the set of Daily this Monday, October 14, Julien Doré returned to the loss of his mother in 2022. The singer also revealed behind the scenes of his revival of Mama’s eyes by Kendji Girac, in which he pays homage to him.
It was in May 2022 that Julien Doré announced the disappearance of his mother with a saddening message on Instagram. He wrote there: “The world no longer looks quite the same without his mother. Without it, almost everything dies, fades, melts.” By resuming, two years after this tragic event, Mama’s eyesJulien Doré wanted to pay tribute to the one he continues to cherish, by integrating a touching detail. Indeed, at the beginning of the song, we hear his mother’s voice, coming from an old audio message that he found after extensive research. In the clip, we also see his son, with whom he shares moments of complicity.
Julien Doré talks about the death of his mother on the set of Daily
During his passage in DailyJulien Doré returned to the genesis of this project, explaining that he had a lot of difficulty finding his mother’s voice: “I go to my phone and search my voicemail for my mother’s voice. I realize that I can’t find her (…) and that I can’t listen to her voice.” This realization was difficult for the singer, as he found himself faced with the idea that he may have lost the memory of his mother’s voice. “There is a chasm (…) it turns out that the more time passes, the more someone’s voice fades from memory.” After a long search, Julien Doré finally managed to find a message from his mother which he decided to include in his cover: “I tell myself at that moment, as a son, not as an artist, that I have fixed something, that is to say that there, I will not be able to erase this voice, it is fixed somewhere.”

This cover also takes on a more intimate dimension for Julien Doré, who became a father for the first time in 2021. He expressed his wish that his son could one day hear his grandmother’s voice through this song: “Maybe in a few years, when my son listens to this song, he will think it’s mine. But he will also hear his grandmother’s voice.” Julien Doré’s son will also have the opportunity to discover the moments shared with his father during his childhood. In the clip which accompanies this cover, we see father and son having fun together, the little boy always appearing from back, because the singer wants to preserve his face, as he has always done.
