When we arrive at our meeting place with Lola Dubini, we are informed at the outset that she will be a few minutes late.

"That's it, she is wanted and already takes herself for a star?

», Might think his few detractors.

At the risk of disappointing, the reason is in fact much more prosaic: the singer has a problem with the door of her apartment.

A problem for which she apologizes repeatedly when she arrives, ready for the interview.

One thing is certain, Lola Dubini is not playing the fame she has acquired over the years, from her first steps on the stage of

on M6 until her rise on YouTube.

Guitar on the back, she comes to present us 

I tell you

, her first album available from this Friday, April 9.

How did the album design come about?

Song design has been going on for a few years.

It was the time to find myself, to seek me above all, to mature too.

I started designing this album when I was 25, it was a bit of a step for me where I said to myself that I was growing up, that I had adult responsibilities.

It was then that I clicked, saying to myself "I think this is the time".

Of the ten unreleased, there are two songs that people already know,

Complexe

and

Plan Cul

.

The others are brand new two years old.

Even the latest is

Learn from me

which dates from a month before completing the setlist of the album.

I loved him too much and couldn't resist.

Once the songs are written, you have to record them ...

Just after the first confinement, we went to Burgundy for a week in the Côtes de Beaune in a lost studio.

This album is really like a kid's conception.

I don't know if it's comparable but I live it like a real birth.

It was done in five days so we were exhausted, worn out.

We started with the songs that seemed the hardest to us and ended with the easiest and lightest, the ones I knew best.

It's an album that you have self-produced.

Why this choice ?

I have always been freelance, even on YouTube.

I have a bit of a contract phobia and everything that follows is purely administrative because I don't like signing things and being held accountable afterwards.

There are a lot of people who are in this format and for me it is the sign of a generation which is emancipating itself a little and which shows that we are able to do several things by surrounding ourselves with the good ones. people.

It's a lot of sleepless nights to think about, to have a stomach ache.

I was under stress for two years, it really ate me.

In

Why we love each other

, you say "To see it everywhere, it makes me miro" but it's an album that speaks a lot of love ...

This is the very definition of this album.

When I say that, it is because they are sending us a very standardized vision of love on how we should live our love stories when it is so full of stuff.

Love woman-man, man-man, woman-woman, love in herds, love without sex, love for our family.

Me for example, I expected to meet my prince charming on a white steed.

Well already, the horses, it's over in the street so it's a bit dead (laughs).

But it is above all that I took a long time to understand that love is more complicated than you think.

And above all, you can feed on lots of things, the love of the public, the people on YouTube.

Do you consider

In the Thousand 

your most personal song?

I wrote it in thirty minutes I think.

I needed to write it down, it's been a pretty hard time in my life.

I lived in Issoire with my parents and I had to leave for my studies.

I did not want to leave the family cocoon of my parents who had reassured me a lot because I had experienced bullying during this period.

It was the end of my baccalaureate, I had to live my adult life in Bordeaux.

It was a total rebirth.

In Issoire, I was the girl who made

Incredible Talent

, I was the fat one, I was all you want, a representation that I had made of myself because of the others, and Bordeaux was my new one breath.

She tells that song.

Sometimes you are in a toxic environment for yourself and you can't zoom out.

For me, the best solution was to get out.

When we do

Incredible Talent

, we can believe that it's great because we pass in front of millions of viewers but it can be an image that sticks too much to the skin?

From the start, I was super-flattered, there were posters of me in my city, in my driving school when I passed my code, there were "Support Lola" so it was crazy.

Really.

And in fact, it deteriorated very quickly.

Afterwards, as soon as you say a word, we no longer look at you: “Ohlala, but since she was on TV…” The teachers too: “Maths is really not your incredible talent…” Which makes you lose confidence in yourself crazy.

In high school it was not going well at all, it was very anxiety-provoking and for a while I needed help.

When today I yell at a guy who insults me, I am told "You had to expect it, you show your image.

I don't need to call myself a bitch, actually.

It is not because my job, it is that people sometimes take my picture, that they come to see me in spectacle, that I say "of course, call me a bitch, it is validated since I exposes me.

“I could make music without being publicized because basically that's what I wanted to do, to do stuff all over France, small stages.

The road decided otherwise, but if it hadn't been that way, I wouldn't have been pissed off.

It's true that

Incredible Talent

, it had been hard.

Today, you don't really feed your YouTube channel anymore.

Do you plan to take it back?

Yes !

I don't really know yet what will be on it but it will be more behind the scenes, things like that.

I put a lot of constraints on myself at the time because there's a kind of thing where you put pressure on yourself for performance and having views.

It's not at all a pressure that I want to have so I'm really going to do what I want.

I'm going to give people the opportunity to start over, to get to know me.

I only have 500,000 subscribers, I'm going to remake a video in which I say that my name is Lola, that I am 27 years old, that I produced an album.

And then we will continue the journey together.

You also have a show.

Will it resume when the theaters reopen?

The goal is to take it back, maybe not in the same form.

I really hope to go on tour, I would love to.

I'm working on a much more hybrid form than before with, I'm trying, all the songs on the album.

It's a whole job to redo but I have time because the State does not consider us essential so we are working on it, to become it again.

Will it look more like a classical concert composed only of songs, leaving out the humorous part?

Oh no, I think there will always be jokes.

I am very talkative so this is not possible for me.

And I need people to understand me.

For me, it is not possible that I do not explain why I wrote a song and its progress.

That's why I originally did a show.

And then I can't stop talking.
