Events Description
Since his very first career interview fifteen years ago, following the release of I Wonder, Bobby Bazini has often been asked the same question: why doesn’t he sing in French? Journalists ask it during interviews, and fans bring it up after shows or when they approach him on the street. The desire was there, of course, but for years, he postponed the project — unsure of how to approach it, doubting himself, wondering whether he was capable and whether his audience would follow him on that path…
In recent years, Bobby had been discovering French-language music, largely thanks to the parents of his partner Odessa. He grew particularly fond of Jim et Bertrand (he cites La tête en gigue as a favourite) and Rêver mieux by Daniel Bélanger. As it turned out, Connor also loved both of these albums — and they became central inspirations for Seul au cinéma. The balance of acoustic instrumentation and sampling in Rêver mieux, and the rich chord progressions of Jim et Bertrand, underpinned by melodies you sing at the top of your lungs at concerts or in the car — that’s the artistic path they chose to follow.
Seul au cinéma will be released on September 19, and Bobby has never felt this eager for an album launch. To him, it feels like attending the premiere of his own movie — like watching himself play his own role, navigating the duality of Bazinet and Bazini. He wonders whether the public will follow him on this new journey.
Having long defined himself through his idols, Bobby Bazini now steps forward — stripped down, without artifice — in his own language.
