On L'Outrebleu, he took care of almost everything. Could it have been otherwise for a record that is perhaps his most intimate, a record in perfect balance between "gentle sadness and melancholy joy"? A solo record indeed, but one that would not have seen the light of day without the alter-ego François Delabrière, guitarist François Pioggio, singer Gaëlle Kerrien, ex-collaborator of Yann Tiersen, Pete Doherty of The Libertines, Robin Guthrie of the legendary Cocteau Twins and Clément Ducol, composer of the fantastic soundtrack to Jacques Audiard's Emilia Perez. A record that knows how to be gravely light and slightly serious, a record of melodies to be whistled just about everywhere; a personal record and a universal record.
