The singer Hervé, male revelation at the Victoires de la musique 2021, was Wednesday the guest of Philippe Vandel in "Culture Médias".

He tells, not without humor, a terrible free concert that he gave in Toulon in front of 15,000 people, and where all the elements seemed to have ganged up against him.

INTERVIEW

His style, which mixes voice without retouching and electro music, made the success of the singer Hervé, author in particular of the tube "Si bien du mal".

But this technical peculiarity also sometimes played tricks on him in concert, as he explained Wednesday at the microphone of Philippe Vandel in 

Culture Médias. 

"Sometimes there are small technical glitches: the computer that buggy or that does not want to send the sequences" he recognizes.

"I once did shift myself, singing over loops. It was quite surprising."

To the point, once, of spoiling his concert.

It was in Toulon, in the first part of Eddy De Pretto, on August 30, 2019. A concert that became the worst of his life.

"I was all alone on stage. It was a free concert with 15,000 people," Hervé remembers.

And the computer was sending other songs during my song.

So I was doing 15 seconds and there it cut and it sent back another piece. "

"I still manage to play four songs in a row"

The fault, perhaps, with the climatic conditions.

"It was around 35 degrees, I don't know if the machines had heated up or not," Hervé specifies.

But on stage, the singer does not let himself be overwhelmed by the elements and tries to save face.

"I throw songs from supporters of the RCT, I do what I can," he says, laughing.

“After a while, I still get to play a few titles in a row. It's a big win for me. And for the people in the crowd. Because at first it's touching. And then, after a while, it's absolutely abominable to listen to. "

Hervé then ends his concert. But he is not at the end of his troubles. "When I leave the stage, I take the giant screen in the head," he continues. "And there, an absolutely lunar scene: Charles Berling comes out of I-do-not-know-where and comes to say to me 'Wow, that was brilliant'. I went to sit down. It took a few days. put it back. And it still cuts my legs to talk about it today! "
