The singer is preparing an album with the Detroit group scheduled for 2024. They are counting on crowdfunding to bring the project to fruition.
Bertrand Cantat will soon be back in the studio. The French singer announced on Instagram on Saturday the release of a new album in 2024, within the rock group Detroit. It will be a new return for the musician after several attempts, always decried by feminist circles.
According to The Parisian, this future risk will be realized through a crowdfunding campaign. This will be Detroit’s second album after Horizonsreleased in 2013, in which Bertrand Cantat had already participated.
Difficult return
The career of Bertrand Cantat, who enjoyed success in the 1990s with the group Noir Désir, has come up against the singer’s criminal record many times in recent years. Sentenced for the death under his blows of his partner Marie Trintignant, which occurred in 2003, he was released in 2007 after having served more than half of his eight-year sentence.
The singer went back on stage in 2018 to defend a solo album, Amor Fati, but this tour had provoked hostile reactions and demonstrations by feminist associations. These pressures had led to the cancellation of concerts and participation in festivals, until Bertrand Cantat himself announced in June that he was giving up the last planned dates of his tour.
When the Théâtre de la Colline in Paris presented a show set to music by Bertrand Cantat in November 2021, a feminist demonstration intervened to try to prevent the performance. It had finally taken place half an hour late.
