Last November 8, Julien Doré revealed his new album: Impostor. The singer, who revealed himself to the public during the fifth season of Nouvelle Star in 2007, chose to surprise his audience by offering covers of great hits from the French repertoire. In particular, we can find his version of As long as they are soft (Mylène Farmer), All the women in your life (L5), Hi Lolita (Alizée) or even Sensuality (Axelle Red).
Julien Doré also takes up Under the tropical sunlightwhich seemed to delight Gilbert Montagné. “Of course it’s nice! So, it’s obviously a different style. It gave it charm too, it's different, it's as nice as anything (…) I'm lucky to have a really warm audience, younger and younger. You can come see and see it! But as soon as we start the intro of this song, it's already hot, then it gets hot“, he confided on the set of Bonjour! (TF1)
