Forty years of Music, timeless hits, an intact passion: Marc Lavoine celebrates his decades-long career with the album “Revolver”, a symphonic electro compilation which brings his greatest hits to life.
With “Revolver”, Marc Lavoine is not content with compiling his greatest hits. This project revisits his iconic songs, from “Les yeux revolver” to “Toi, mon amour”, adding a symphonic electro touch. “It’s the most important album of my life,” he confides. An emblematic figure of French song, Marc Lavoine has touched several generations thanks to his instantly recognizable voice and his sensitive lyrics. For the artist, each project is a questioning, a new test of sincerity and authenticity: “We put our title on the line every time”.
A musical renaissance
More than a simple compilation, “Revolver” is intended to be a reinvention of the singer’s emblematic pieces. The titles, reworked in a symphonic electro version, offer listeners a “second life” of his successes, resonating with renewed intensity. “This project made me realize the work I have accomplished”he declares.
Since “Les Yeux revolver”, a title which propelled him to the forefront, Marc Lavoine has continued to multiply his successes. But for him, lasting is much more complex than making a hit. As Jean-Jacques Goldman once confided to him: “You have seven years to do another song or you’ll be finished.” A challenge that he took on brilliantly, evolving over the years, delving deeper into themes that are dear to him such as love and childhood.
For Marc Lavoine, creation is a profound act, a means of confronting emotions, whether sweet or painful. Since his beginnings, he readily admits that each project is a challenge, a “questioning”. “I only know how to do that”he says, talking about his love for singing, acting and writing.
After 40 years in a constantly evolving environment, he has managed to maintain a unique position by remaining true to himself while agreeing to reinvent himself. For Marc Lavoine, this authenticity and this artistic requirement constitute the keys to his longevity. Today, more than ever, the artist with the “Gun Eyes” seems ready to continue to inspire, to dream further and to offer new perspectives to his loyal audience.
