Three years after his first album, Eddy de Pretto returns to the forefront with "To all the bastards", which comes out this Friday on Romance Musique / Universal.
A record that wants to turn over the stigmata and show the difference as a source of pride.
Eddy de Pretto is back with his new album "To all the Bastards", three years after "Cure", his first album, which has sold over 300,000 copies.
In this new opus, the singer is aimed at those who feel different, not always at ease and in tune with society, a bit like him.
Eddy de Pretto wants precisely and through his music to celebrate this difference.
"All our differences, if they are put forward and if they are accepted, well this is where for me a society best transpires", he theorizes at the microphone of Europe 1.

An ode to "different people"
"To all the weirdos, the strange ones, the bastards, the monsters, those who disturb, put them aside", sings Eddy de Pretto in the song "Freaks".
This second album is indeed an ode to "different people", he says, who do not correspond to imposed social standards.
"The ugly, the weird, the weird, the PD, the bastard, I really received those words", says the singer.
Harsh words that he chose to turn around and make his own: "and therefore suddenly, instead of being overwhelmed, wearing them as a weakness, I say that these differences are going to be only positive, and that's what will be the most beautiful ".

The singer also evokes his childhood in the Parisian suburbs, in Créteil, where in his teenage room, he projected himself into an artist's life.
"I also hear the improvised notes of my keyboard where I promised myself that one day I would be able to play perfectly", he sings in "Créteil Soleil".
A life at 27, after hundreds of thousands of albums sold and dozens of concerts, Eddy de Pretto is no longer content to dream.
