For many Internet users, Camélia Jordana was inspired by Kanye West's "Sunday service" for the staging of her hit "Facile" at the Victoires de la Musique.
A theory that the singer confirms Wednesday in "Music!".
She takes the opportunity to specify the (very good) reasons for this successful artistic choice.
INTERVIEW
You couldn't have missed these jokes if you opened up social media last weekend.
Many Internet users have had fun, often with kindness, at the similarities between the staging chosen by Camélia Jordana to sing her hit
Facile
at the Victoires de la musique 2021 and the staging of Kanye West's "Sunday services", masses gospels created by the American rapper.

"We are not going to lie to each other, my idea of a production really came from the heads of the directors and artistic directors of Kanye West", explains Camélia Jordana without pretense.
"They have created a world called the
Sunday service choir
."
This project is centered around a gospel choir that sings on Kanye West's latest album.
A month later, the team of artistic directors and directors released the same album, but without Kanye West.
"Singing in a group is one of the greatest pleasures I have ever known"
And this record without the rapper has rocked the singer's daily life since.
"I think it's the album I've listened to the most in the past two years," she said.
"And so this is the album that I sang the most in all possible situations: on a scooter screaming, in summer while tanning, at home a little sad to be confined."
But this cover of
Facile
in polyphony is not a first for the singer, who in particular already resumed in 2017 the traditional Romany song
Ederlezi
in a church, accompanied by a choir.
“I was lucky enough to discover polyphony when I started taking singing lessons when I was around 17,” she recalls.
"It made me discover the joy of singing with other people. I think it is one of the greatest pleasures I have ever experienced."

The choice of a gospel cover of
Facile
and a staging inspired by "Sunday services" therefore fits perfectly into the singer's artistic DNA.
And now that this very elaborate cover project has ended with the ceremony, Camélia Jordana has only one hurry: to immerse herself in a new project in connection with her new album
Facile x Fragile
.
She already has one in mind.
Two Victories ... and soon two Caesar?
"I'm impatient to have a clear, clean and precise budget available for my next clip, and to be able to put my head in there," she reveals.
"I know this is the next big project that I'm going to get involved in body and soul, and in which I will truly forget myself. It will do me a lot of good. I think it's very welcome in this. time to immerse yourself in creation and surround yourself with caring people, who are fond and excited at the idea of making art. "
During the Victoires de la Musique ceremony, Camélia Jordana took home the prize for the original song for
Facile.
It was the second Music Victory of his career.
On March 12, she could win the César for best actress for
The things we say, the things we do
.
It would then be her second César, after that of the best female hope for
Le brio
in 2018.
