Il est arrivé en avance dans les loges et Julien Bonneau en a profité pour lui poser quelques questions. Bonne écoute ! Jérémy Frérot, bonjour ! Vous êtes l'invité musical des Grosses Têtes aujourd'hui. Vous en êtes à votre combien de visite aux Grosses Têtes ? On vous a reçu beaucoup ! Ouais, c'est que ça plaît, je suis content, je vais finir par dormir là. You've been to chant your new single, Frérot First one of the edition of your album, Gamin des Sables The edition is called C'est pas lui, c'est nous What is this title? I left the album training for me for a year My children have drawn on this sheet They have taken the power of the edition They have taken the freedom to write that Gamin des Sables wasn't me, it was them So it's a edition of the 22nd of May I read you, it's a edition that talks about how I've been doing this album for a year. How did you have been doing this album for a year? I been doing it with the meeting of a public because every time we see it a new meeting and to see how they appreciated this album how we felt together it was incredible It was great to be able to live this to see them sing new songs It was a full year And this new single, Frérot, does this one have to say to you? It has nothing to do with your own acolyte, the Frérot of La Vega. No, not at all. In fact, you can send it to who you want, you can send it to who you want, you can even talk to you, it's why the art exists, because we can take all things and topics. Just with Florian, you are always in contact, could you be able to sing together, or it's completely finished, there will not be a retrouvée? No, it's not difficult, it's on contact, we call, we ask how to live. He revient, I think he has a little bit of action. He revient, The 17th of July, there's a new single that sort for him. In fact, what's good in the art is that there's no laws, no regs. So we do what we want, nothing is stopped. For the moment, I'm trying to write songs and re-write a new album. And I have plenty of ideas. So I really focus on what I do and what I want to say. Justly, you didn't want to leave the new songs of the re-edition for a new album? There's plenty. Yeah and when they writing they writing a long time So next week I not the same A album it It It a time a moment in our lives And so, I want to resemble the album that I'm going to release. D'accord. So, for example, what have you inspired you to write new songs? Are there many songs that you've been listening to? There are many songs that you've been listening to? What's your listen to? What's your listen to in this moment? In this moment, I listen to a lot of Grand Garçons of PLK. I really liked that big flow of the lead which was pretty surprising and a huge maturity. I loved it. What do you listen to? I listen to Andrea Laszlo and Simone. It's an Italian artist who does the pop orchestra and it's very very very very very to read and cook. And for the next album you always work with the same team? You are quite fidèle? I don't have a rule there I don't know but yes I think that in all of the compositions and écritures I always encourage people with whom I feel the best and so that Laurent Lamarca will certainly train a Ben Mazoui a Tibbs for to pass a good moment without not to write a good song I want to pass a good moment well the tourn se termine soon there are there are there are there are there are there are there are there are it I not sure it going to end in October Ah yes in October We just did a whole tourn of Zenith Now we're going to go to the theater, we're going to go to the festivals. And so... There's still a lot of things to live. Is there a moment in this tournée? I mean, in your concerts, is there a moment where there's a song where there's a thing in the audience with the audience? In fact, I try to make sure that each song is strong. not because I sing, but because I bring them, I illustrate them. I work a little for being in good condition and being a musician. But in this moment, there's a song called Dites-lui, which is a piano voice, which is a little bit of a concert because I incarnate someone else. It's the only moment where I speak of the story of someone else. So I'm dressed in another person and it's a shock. It's a shock, it's a surprise. And I like to do that. Okay, it works.
