Sweet words are not always classic words,

 " says Clou.

The singer and poet plunged back into her adolescence to write

Doux mots dits.

 Clou is his childhood nickname, inherited from his tendency to " 

clown

 ".

She refuses to associate the word " 

gentle 

" with silliness.

For her, one of the phrases most associated with gentleness is " 

muscle your game Robert

 ", a "sweet word" of encouragement that one of her former lovers borrowed from Aimé Jacquet, the team coach. of France in football in 1998.
