Patricia Kaas is back after several years in the shadows. Soon among the coaches of the new season The Voice on TF1alongside Zaz, Florent Pagny and Vianney, the singer had not released a project since 2016. She spoke this Saturday, January 11 to Isabelle Ithurburu as part of her portrait for 50′ Insideon TF1. She took the opportunity to return in particular to her romantic situation, she, who preferred to stay alone for some time before finally changing her mind. “At the beginning of 2024, I said to myself, here I am ready. The Voice happened, then lots of other projects, then I met a man and that’s it. It’s still different, I’m 58 years old, at that age, we know lifewe still like a certain independence”, she detailed to the journalist. The latter then asked the singer why she had chosen to evolve away from the spotlight for 8 years. “I needed it for several reasons… Mental and physical fatigue…”, she began by answering.
And Patricia Kaas details : “I really needed to take some time for myself and perhaps simply also know a little about the woman I have become because when you get into a whirlwind like that at 30, we enjoy lots of things but there are plenty of things on the side, where we say to ourselves: ‘Okay, if I had to take a blank page and write down the things that I would like and what I would want to do as a woman’. I wouldn’t have known what to put so it’s true that I gave a lot and I sacrificed a lot of things”. On her daily life away from the studios, the artist admitted to not having done big things but rather to having chosen to take time for herself. “The most simple and banal things. A day of TV, a day of walkinga day of saying to yourself: ‘Hey, I’m going to go see some friends, well, I’m going to go see the family’. But once again, it was a bore, but very pleasant… Sorting your clothes, putting them away.”added the future juror of The Voice. And the singer concludes on her life far from the spotlight: “It’s not not even saying to yourself: ‘Hey, I’m going to see museums’. No, today you want it. You don’t want tomorrow. There is no planning”.
Patricia Kaas talks about her need to “breathe”
After years of being “sought”Patricia Kaas is back in force. “I searched for myself for a long time because I didn’t know myself… Because I went from being a 20-year-old girl who lost her mom and dad right after… It’s true that I loved singing, It’s a way for me to treat my pain too. And the public gave me the love that I no longer had at home. All this marks, because it hurts”, she admitted. The singer then explained that her success had become “so big”that she needed to withdraw to find herself better. “After a while, you feel like it’s time to say ‘I need to breathe because if I don’t breathe now, it’s not going to be good because I’m not going to like what I’m doing’… You need a desire to do what you do. It’s too difficult otherwise.”she concluded frankly.
