Iconic face of the French music scene, François Feldman released a new album on Friday June 7, 2024. As part of the promotion of this record, the musician gave a long interview to the newspaper Nice morning Wednesday June 26, 2024. During this interview, the artist notably returned to one of his former musical projects, which was somewhat turned upside down by Jean-Jacques Goldman. In fact, this anecdote concerns his famous hit called Dont play, released in 1989, on which he sings a duet with Joniece Jamison. “Originally I was going to sing with Carol Fredericks“, revealed François Feldman. “But Jean-Jacques Goldman vetoed it because they were going to release their album as a trio with Michael Jones. She told me: ‘I have a friend who can replace me. She sings better than me and she is more beautiful than me. That’s how I met the wonderful Joniece Jamison“, also added the musician.
Even though he has a very successful career, punctuated by numerous successes, François Feldman is still mainly known today for his cult hit called The Waltzes From Vienna. The singer also revealed an anecdote about this song, which was also released in 1989.For this song, I wrote the most lame and most criticized sentence: ‘What happens to the waltzes of Vienna?’. Jean-Marie Moreau (his co-author, editor’s note) was not convinced, but he embroidered on it. Since then, it has been brought out to me every time, what happened to these Vienna waltzes? It makes me laugh“, indicated François Feldman. Today, the singer leads a peaceful existence in the Cannes region. It is also from his studio installed there that he composed his brand new album, soberly titled Piano.
François Feldman will be in free concert in Cannes on Saturday June 29, 2024
“Fans were already telling me, about my concerts: ‘The solo part on the piano is nice’. But it was by listening to Sofiane Pamard that I wanted to do that. The Piano is back in the era of time“, underlined François Feldman. The singer will also be in a free concert for the first time in Cannes on Saturday June 29, 2024. He will perform on stage from 8:15 p.m. as part of the Vintage Festival. The musician will also play on the 1st August in Cavalaire, August 10 in Valensole, and August 30 in Breil-sur-Roya.
