For the rapper, this third opus, released after three years of absence, is clearly distinguishable from others. "I worked every text like a real feeling without trying to make radio hits, I really focused on what I like," says the Guinean singer, at the microphone of Anne Roumanoff.
He has, for example, written songs on topics close to his heart, such as Lucien , which focuses on school bullying or Waltz the Life , about the homeless.
"Return to the source"
The 34-year-old singer may have matured since his beginnings in the 2000s, but admits to having felt a little apprehensive. "The day before, I was very stressed but for once, I really went back to the source of what I like to do, I'm much more confident and I really like to talk about this album," says Black M. For the first album, I was in doubt and for the second, I wanted to surf on the success of the first so I went without calculating too much, "recalls the singer, who compares his career to a" fairy tale " who does not stop ".
The album Once Upon a Time also brought together several artists that Black M has met over the course of his artistic career. The singer has worked extensively with the artist Vianney to write this album, which he considers a "connoisseur of French rap".
Other artists have also collaborated with Black M, such as Heuss L'enfoiré, Soolking, PLK or the duo Bigflo & Oli.
