INTERVIEW
His house is full of guitars and manuscripts on the worktop of his studio. Louis Chedid had not released an album of his own for seven years. A first excerpt from his future record and available. "I had an overflow in the head, everything came out very quickly," he says at the microphone of Europe 1. To write, he has a mechanical of his own, helped by his past video editor: "If I start asking myself about a sentence, or what, I can spend the day on a word and so, do not move on.When I write songs, I write a lot of pages and afterwards, I cut. I'm writing maybe 200 lines to come up with a song, video editing taught me that, and when you make a film montage, you realize that by cutting an image there, it changes everything. song can be great for a minute and then you get bored, and editing teaches you not to tire the audience. "
"All you want in life", first excerpt
"I think it's important to pull people up, rather than pull them down, tell them sad, depressing stories ... When people listen to this song, they feel like it's good for them. "he says. "I feel more and more going to others, and I like it because it keeps me alive."
The Chedid family has a big news: in addition to the father, it is the girl, Nach, who is currently on tour to present L'Aventure , his new album. She did some chorus on her father's next album: "I think she sings really well, I even think that in the family, she has the most brilliant voice." He has always protected his daughter. When she told him that he wanted to make music, he said: "Of course, but you will have to work more than the others." For him, being part of a family already known is all the more difficult: "the bar is high, already when you want to do this kind of job, but it is not that the most important. In the East, it's the job, and in addition when you're part of a family that's already known, the bar is much higher because you can see it coming from a distance, it's more complex but at the same time it makes you feel more and it makes you go even further. "
The next album of Louis Chedid will be released on February 28, 2019.
