For her third studio album “Mon sang”, Clara Luciani took on a major challenge: having a baby and making a record in the same time frame! “ It was the double project. I’m slightly hyperactive and it’s true that when I found out I was pregnant, I was very afraid that it would immobilize me. I had quite a few friends who, unfortunately, had had to be bedridden very early in their pregnancy and I said to myself: “I would really like my body and my mind to allow me to last until the end and being able to create until the last minute. And that was the case, up to ten days before giving birth, I was lucky enough to be able to finish and record my album » confided Monday evening in the show “C à vous” the interpreter of “Tout pour moi”, whose new opus addresses the themes of transmission and melancholy. And since music is a family affair, Clara Luciani even invited her two parents to sing backing vocals on the song “Mon sang”, which gives its name to this project, available since Friday, November 15.

“But it’s terrible to tell you that”
In the superb song “Forget Me Not” which she sings in a duet with Rufus Wainwright, Clara Luciani whispers about her relationship with the Scottish singer Alex Kapranos, the leader and guitarist of the group Franz Ferdinand. Married since May 2023, the couple welcomed a little boy in September of the same year and it was therefore during her pregnancy that the musician gave birth to her 13 new compositions. With great apprehension caused, a little clumsily, by his other half! On the set of France 5, Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine mentioned a funny anecdote about the press reviews of “My blood”. “ I imagine that you are very happy that this album has found such a warm welcome, you who have been keen to surprise since you learned of the half-stressful, half-amusing remark made by your companion » began the host, remaining enigmatic. “ Oh yes ! » approved Clara Luciani, the presenter of the show asking for more details for viewers: “ But it’s terrible to tell you that, explain to us what he told you ».

With a smile, Clara Luciani then described the discussion she had with her lover, who is preparing to publish her sixth album “The Human Fear” with the Franz Ferdinand group in January 2025. “ It wasn’t malicious at all but he told me: you’ll see the third album, it’s a complicated album because the first album is the new thing, so everyone wants it. The second album, you come back and people are a bit like “Ah, we want more”. And the third album people say to themselves: “But what is she still doing here?” » she remembered. A remark that made Clara Luciani fear the worst!
Although she admits to having been afraid of being forgotten by the public, Clara Luciani ultimately took this reflection as a source of motivation: “ I find it quite funny. He didn’t say it to me unkindly at all and I think that on the contrary, it allowed me to say to myself “Well, maybe the reception won’t be exactly the same this time”. We also have to accept that people actually want freshness and novelty and, as you said, I’ve been here for a few years now “. The godmother of the “Star Academy” can nevertheless be reassured because this new record already has a first unconditional fan: her 1-year-old son! “ He loves the record, he listened to it before everyone else obviously »joked the singer in “C à vous”, before adding with a smile: “ He’s a very big fan. It’s almost too much! He only listens to that, because he recognized me in the photo ».
