C’est à l’automne dernier, après quelques saisons très denses, qu’Albin de la Simone ressent le besoin de se retrouver seul ; face à lui-même. Enfermé à la Villa Médicis, il termine d’écrire son livre puis reprend et enregistre quelques chansons de ces débuts, plus sereines ; plus sensuelles. Il s’est amusé à reprendre quelques chansons de ses débuts comme Je te manque, Avril 4000 ou Non merci (2005), et a remarqué que je leur donnais quelque chose qu’il ne voyait pas à l’époque. Il les habitait d’une nouvelle façon. S’en suivent d’autres morceaux importants de sa vie comme la sublime « Valse des lilas » de Michel Legrand ou bien « Ma gueule » de Johnny Halliday. 10 titres, doux et touchants qui accompagnent avec justesse la sortie de son prochain livre « Mes battements » à paraitre chez Actes Sud.
