The place of women

Grand Corps Malade only sings on one track, 

Mesdames

, which opens the album of the same name.

A title like a "note of intent" from the album where he sings "Please accept this statement ladies, as an honest attempt at redress, in the face of the deep machismo of our customs, our cultures, in the great book of humans instead in the chapter of the rupture ".

A reference to male domination that we find in several texts of the album. 

On the other titles of his album, the slammer surrounds himself with 10 female artists, young singers or stars for decades, from all musical styles.

A way to let them speak, sometimes with emotion, sometimes with humor, and sometimes to highlight strangers.

In order of appearance, Grand Corps Malade is accompanied by Louane, Laura Smet, Véronique Sanson, Suzane, Camille Lellouche, Julie Berthollet, Camille Berthollet, Alicia, Manon and Amuse-Bouche. 

#balancetonporc: no "yes, but"

Among his duets, the one with singer Suzane imagines that the two artists exchange bodies for a day.

"We had fun with this situation, but we also wanted to denounce things", explains Grand Corps Malade about the title 

During

24h.

"We wanted to talk about inequalities between men and women, but also to laugh and play with clichés."

The song was dubbed a clip, released with the album, which features the two artists exchanging their places in society. 

This song, like others on this album, cites the #balancetonporc movement to support it.

Obviously for Grand Corps Malade.

"There is no 'yes, but' possible. #MeToo and #balancetonporc are great moves," he explains.

"It is obviously very good that the tongues are loosened, very well that one does not speak of them, very well that that poses questions to us, the men. There is no 'but' to add".

For the singer, the fact that inequalities have always existed does not normalize them and they must be denounced by all possible means of expression.

“What do we do, do we continue to see these inequalities and we do nothing?” He asks.

"It's good that we talk about them. And it's good that we put them to music from time to time."
