Marie-Mai recently unveiled the song On the floor, which will be part of his next album with a title still kept secret. She confided in Journal with great honesty, claiming to be at 7e heaven of her happiness. “I’m going to be 40 this summer and I feel the blood flowing through my veins,” she says.
After the transition and the “plunge into the void” which nourished his latest opus, She and I, released in 2018, Marie-Mai wanted to go into introspection. A question of contemplating all the path traveled and being proud of it.
“I see this next album as the point of 20 years of my career. You look back and you have so much respect for everything you’ve experienced. It’s a beautiful update and a beautiful look towards a tomorrow full of possibilities,” explains the singer-songwriter.

Intense topics
Very frank, Marie-Mai reveals having felt a kind of weariness at the time of her and me. “I felt like I no longer had that same flame in me. I felt like I was there, but not completely there,” she confides.
Today, little Gisèle’s mother feels the freedom to do what she really wants to do. Very intense subjects, as she likes them, will therefore abound on this next album planned for the fall. No more, for the singer, the whirlwind of emotions. She promises pieces that will deal with what she really feels, with pop and electronic flavors.
The central point of this opus? Nostalgia. Because Marie-Mai decided to talk about what she has experienced in recent years with her today’s wisdom.
“You have to lose yourself and question yourself in life. Today, I give myself a pat on the back. I am proud of not being jaded and of not having given up,” she continues.
On his X
Marie-Mai has trouble containing her enthusiasm, especially when she is happy and… in love!
“I feel perfectly fine. I’m on my X. I’m inspired by what’s happening to me. I’m 100% happy and I own it. I’m really living a beautiful story and I’m going to talk about it at the right time,” she continues, confirming that she has a new lover.
If writing and making music is what she loves most in the world, the artist enjoys surpassing herself by multiplying various projects. She will be a judge on the show What talent! in the fall and back to the animation of Big Brother Celebrities next winter.
The actress we could see in the film Testament by Denys Arcand and in the series Shoresyhas also received some offers to act on television. Confirmations will come, she promises.
“When I’m terrified, but I want to be, I know what I have to do. What I like most, after 20 years, is doing things to change the routine. Put more strings to my bow to feel like I still have dreams to achieve.”
