INTERVIEW

An 11th album, That's all I have left , crowns Thomas Fersen's thirty-year career, which continues to draw inspiration from a teenager. At the microphone of Patrick Cohen, the singer let himself go to some confidences about his personality and his career in the program C'est arrivé demain . He recalled that his path had crossed that of Marie Trintignant, which he continues to think.

"She had this strangeness"

In 2003, with the actress, Thomas Fersen had indeed recorded the title Room-climb of the great days. It was "a few months before his death, I often think about it," he slips, before revealing that he had planned to work with her on an album: "I have recordings of songs that were intended for a project she wanted to do, she wanted to make a record, she wanted to sing, she was someone I had elected, she had that strangeness that I liked in the timbre, the voice, the personality " he recalls.

"My truth: tell stories"

A strangeness that the singer continues to cultivate in his latest album. In the new songs of Thomas Fersen, we find his favorite subjects: the allusion to monsters, animals and strange universes as in the title The pond . The whole draws the portrait of a big child, dark. "I am dark and tormented," he confirms. "That's why I'm kicking in touch with my jokes, but I have a taste for the strange and the double things (...) I'm in the narration I've changed a bit in recent years. I'm trying to go to what I think is my truth about telling stories. "
