Fall is upon us, it’s time for a quick update!

If you’re in Paris on Wednesday October 16th, come around to La Cigale, it’s the MaMa festival, and we’re having a party ( https://www.facebook.com/events/la-cigale/think-zik-party-mama-festival/506102053456701/ ) with all the artists from the Think Zik! label – Imany, Faada Freddy, Paper Plane, Anwar, Yaya Minté and Ah The Unclear. 4 hours of music, and I have the honor of MD’ing the house band. I’ve also spent a good deal of the year working with the label on an upcoming acoustic, intimate record featuring all these artists, as well as some invited friends, incredible vocal talent, can’t wait for it to come out!

The Mylene Farmer concert movie that was filmed during the shows we did in June at the Paris La Défense Arena will be in 500 cinemas around France for one unique showing on November 7th at 20h. Check out the just released movie teaser/music video:

Also coming soon to cinema screens very soon on October 19th is the concert we did last month the the Cirque d’Hiver with the wildly talented, 13 year old Erza Muqoli and Vianney. Her debut record that I also had the privilege of playing on is out on October 25th.

The record I worked on a lot this spring/summer with Christophe Maé is coming out on October 25th, first single is out and is doing well on the radio. I’ll also be joining Christophe for some live shows, stay tuned!

Out this week is the beautiful movie “J’irai ou tu Iras” by Geraldine Nakkache. Camille did the soundtrack and I got to play piano on it!

In other news, I’m busy working this fall as a producer for Benabar’s next record for Sony with master A&R and beautiful friend Bertrand Lamblot. We have a great repertoire, and half of the record is done already, I think it will be a powerful collection of songs showing how much depth and range Benabar has gained over the years. It should be out in the early Spring if all goes well.

Also coming up with Bertrand and our wonderful studio band The Moonlight Shadows (Raphael Chassin, Laurent Vernerey, Thomas Coeuriot and your truly) is the record we did in the Spring for French legend Renaud, the album is called “Les mômes et les enfants d’abord” and will be out in November. Watch out!
