Slimane’s return is now official. On September 2, the singer will publish “Chroniques d’un cupidon”, his third solo album. This will follow “Solune” and especially “Versus”, his joint record with Vitaa which was a huge success with over 900,000 counter sales. It would be a lie to say that I am not aware of what happened to me. Dj, I’ll realize it even more when I’m even older. At some point, when we have people in front of us, we can only become aware he explained on RTL. While the tour of this disc will end on December 17 next Paris La Défense Arena, the interpreter of “a ira” will therefore offer 19 new songs on this lovers scrapbook as he describes it, including the hit single “The recipe” and the poignant “In the dark” where he evokes his mother’s illness.

Surprises all month of August
My mother has had a disease for a very long time and her diabetes has attacked her eyes. She’s going blind he confided with motion in “50’ Inside”. While he will also sing for his granddaughter Esmeralda, Slimane has reserved five duets on the 19 songs from the album “Chroniques d’un cupidon”. At the end of June, the singer revealed the tracklist of his disc, leaving the mystery hanging over the names of these five collaborators. It was only in recent days that Slimane finally revealed the names of the artists who share the microphone on his third solo album, through excerpts from each of the tracks.
Thus, Slimane called on the Moroccan singer Manal for “Zina”, the R&B artist Lyna Mahyem for “Maladie” or the sensation La Zarra on “Les amants de la colline”. But the two flagship duets of the album are undoubtedly “Chez toi” and “La vie est belle”. The first is a collaboration with Claudio Capo while the second sees Slimane uniting his universe with that of Soprano for a title that promises to be poignant. Very touched by the reception given to the announcement of these collaborations, Slimane has just revealed that he is preparing a surprise for his public every Friday in August. Something to delight the fans! Especially since the CD and vinyl editions sold on its official website will be accompanied by a bonus CD including its covers published monthly on YouTube throughout 2021.
