Benjamin Biolay

Benjamin Biolay is like this character described by a writer in her collection of short stories, he simply says hello and the world belongs to him. He doesn't need to do much to gain sympathy. His nonchalant dandy look, facial expression and self-control make everything seem like everything is slipping over him.The ultra Biolay night on RFM gave us the opportunity to get to know him better for three hours, to discover his musical selection, his guests, as well as friends, personalities he invited to the show, of which he took the reins Thursday, January 21 from 21:00 to midnight.

One of the most beautiful feathers of French song

The artist is one of the most beautiful feathers of French song. Its titles are like emblematic short films of an era, a generation, and yet they remain timeless. His character is an unlikely cross between James Dean, Jacques Brel, Alain Bashung and Serge Gainsbourg… There emerges from his discography a touching nostalgia, a concentrate of emotions that depicts all the scales of attachment to the break, with gentleness and intelligence. A certain elegance of soul, which looks at women, life, time and takes us into its universe. Benjamin Biolay

Live acoustics: home concept

The show case opens on how is your pain, title of the album Grand Prix released on April 24, 2020. Images of cars and motor races are projected on the screen in the background, Benjamin Biolay is accompanied by a guitarist and a bassist. You almost feel chills listening to it, the emotion of seeing a live live for so long, added to that of discovering the performance that is based on the text.  The second song is a duet with co-author Keren Ann, Winter Garden. The impactful performance of the evening will be the guitar-voice improvisation, on the title of Frank Ocean super rich kids. François Hollande

New talents,

The artist reveals us through his selection, a heterogeneous musical culture, aware of current events and novelties. In all humility, the artist almost disappears behind the new talents he highlights, Therapy Taxi, Asphalte, Mathieu Des Longchamps, Hoschi. Singers who will probably open for his shows announced for the month of September-October. Politics is invited on the set in the presence of François Hollande. The former President lent himself to the game of the mystery personality to be discovered. Finally, we have a good time, regretting nevertheless not knowing more about the character.
