With confinement, many artists have come closer to their audience. The singer Tété published a cover every day and invited his fans to sing with him by video. The artist now wants to take the experience further and record an entire album with them.
The author of the hit hit Fall campaign even launched a participatory campaign to raise the funds necessary for his project. "These are people whose name and job we don't know, but who can deliver great things from their living room," says Tété on Europe 1.
Hello everyone, Tété has the camera. Building on the success of #FeatsConfinés, I would like to transform this project into a studio album. By the way, do you know how an album is recorded? : https://t.co/KJV4iIWcZT

Duos on Bohemian Rhapsody or On the road
The concept, dubbed "Confined Feat", was born during confinement. "Download my song, play it over and send me your version, I'll take care of the editing," suggested the artist. The result: around twenty covers in duets with amateur musicians, including that of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody , or On the Road by Gérald de Palmas.

Raise 20,000 euros through a participatory campaign
"He's an artist that I really like. I looked for a song that could match me because I also do bass," says Eva, also an amateur musician. "I sang and made bass, then I shared it with Tété. A few days ago I had a message asking me to send my video. It seems to be making music together! ", she rejoices.
Eva may be on the artist's next album, but the money has to be raised first. The singer launched a participatory campaign to collect 20,000 euros to record a dozen titles with his fans. "This is a project that could have started around a campfire. Everyone has a chance," says Tété. He hopes to release 1,000 records, and promises to donate five euros per album sold to hospitals.
