On the occasion of the release of Julien Doré's new album, Impostorthis Friday November 8, 2024, Tele-Leisure was able to speak with the blonde-haired singer. He confides at length about his 3-year-old son.
In 2007, Julien Doré won the fifth edition of New Star. His trademark? A remarkable talent for musical covers. 17 years later, the 42-year-old singer pays tribute to his great beginnings, and to this era so dear to his heart… With the release of a sixth album entitled Impostor, available from this Friday, November 8, 2024 and in which he has fun revisiting pieces from very diverse backgrounds like Banana Care by Philippe Risoli, And as long as they are soft by Mylène Farmer or even Fly Me to the Moon by Frank Sinatra.
Eclectic covers in the album Impostor
Philippe Risoli, Mylène Farmer, Frank Sinatra, Dalida, the L5, Alizée, Émile and Images… In his new album entirely composed of covers and entitled ImpostorJulien Doré plays the eclecticism card with all the talent and atypical style that we know him to have. “This really sounds like what I listen to in real life! [Il rit.] tells us the singer for whom “this eclecticism is very important because it shatters what I have always hated: the notion of box and taste. I needed this album to bring together songs that I love and that I associate with a strong marker of my life, a memory, a smell… This open-mindedness is fundamental“, he continues.
“He loves coming and sitting on daddy’s flying carpet“: the touching confidences of Julien Doré about his son
In his album, Julien Doré has fun revisiting numerous pieces from diverse backgrounds… very, very diverse! Indeed, a few weeks ago, the singer's fans were able to discover his completely crazy cover of the song Ah les crocodiles. A children's nursery rhyme that the Gardois hums to his young 3-year-old son in the evening at bedtime? “Not really, to be honest, I don't really sing songs to him“, he answers us bluntly before continuing: “On the other hand, we both make music. Often when I sing something and start playing the piano, his first instinct will be to pick up an instrument to participate. But frankly and fortunately, he never expressed the desire to listen to one of my songs! What he loves is coming with it, sitting at rehearsals on dad's flying carpet and watching the dogs Simone and Jean-Marc, dancing with the musicians 5 minutes before the start of the pestacle (the name of his next tour, editor's note)'”.
