Good news for Nicolas Fraissinet fans. He returns with “Joie Sauvage”, a new album, a new live show + video, accompanied by a book which takes the form of a poetic story accompanying each song on the record. The 44-year-old Franco-Swiss speaks about nature and the animal condition to be defended. “This is the subject that has been closest to my heart since I was very little,” he tells us. There have always been animals wandering around in my albums and in my songs, but I needed to do it today in a more involved way.” According to the artist, there are two aspects to this work. “I want to defend the animal cause, but also the animal inside us, because humans are an animal like any other,” he says. I want to restore the animal kingdom and give it back its place as equal to man.”
The “offbeat” clip for the first single from his opus, “Amours Polaires”, already sets the tone. We see Nicolas disguised as a polar bear lost in different places. “For me, it’s the story of a shipwrecked man trying to find a house that no longer exists,” he explains. As for the title “Abattoirs”, with its poignant text, the singer wishes to raise people’s awareness about animal exploitation, without lecturing them. “I’m a vegetarian, but that’s not what the song is about. It does not ask the question of whether we should eat meat or not. But she said: “If you, human, eat meat, then how do you do it?” She asks him when he preferred to look away so as not to know what was happening in all these factories of death. And now that he knows, what will his reaction be.”
