French singer Louane will perform the very first concert of her new tour The Feelings Clubon June 14, in Montreal, as part of the Francos.
This first solo concert in the metropolis promises to be “extremely different” from the previous ones, she told the QMI Agency on Thursday morning. For the first time in her career, she will be on stage completely alone, with no musicians to accompany her.
“It’s very special, but I’m still happy to defend this project in this way. I didn’t imagine that with the Sentiments album I would be able to do what I was able to do before, which was very pop concerts,” she added.
Artistically, this willingness to take risks and this exposure, which she will now present on the forums, are very stimulating for her, but also make her “completely scared,” she said at the other end of the line, laughing. “It’s downright creepy, especially because I have to stay in the room by myself for 1 hour and 40 minutes when I’ve never done it before,” continued the singer, who first made herself known on The Voice in France in 2013.
“Despite the fact that [le concert] be very intimate, it will also be very dynamic. “I really envisioned the tour as being a concept that changes depending on the song,” she continued.
It must be said that the album Sentiments, her last, which hit the stores in December, is a much more personal work, for which she wrote most of the tracks and in which the pop catchphrases have given way to a simpler musicality that evolves approximates the piano part.

Since the show wasn’t fully put together yet — she’ll be heading to the residency on Friday to prepare it — she didn’t yet know if she’d revive the Feelings Box, which asked viewers to speak up about their feelings anonymously before each show . The undressing of these boxes and the confidences of admirers on social networks have also inspired certain songs of the album, in particular Tu m’as dit, written according to the testimony of a mother who thought she would never find love again, but finally found the right one Person.
maturity and validation
Ten years have passed since she took part in The Voice, but also since her first film role in The Bélier Family. Though each album corresponds to an era she lived in, the 26-year-old artist believes she’s “really grown over the past few years,” including since having her daughter, though motherhood hasn’t changed the way she works.
All of her acquired background also helped define the artist she wanted to be.
“On my first album I only wrote one song, on the second I wrote two to three, half of the third, so it just made sense to write the whole fourth album, but that’s really because I was learning got how to do it.” she said.
“Over time, writing made me feel better, and I think that’s exactly what it is,” Louane explained.
French fries and Tyrolean
The start of his tour in Montreal is largely due to a combination of circumstances, but that’s a good thing. Louane and her little family love Montreal. “I often came outside of the tour. I’m so happy to start with Montreal, it’s a city I really like,” the singer said enthusiastically on Thursday.
Her last visit to the metropolis was in April, when she took part in the grand finale of La Voix, performing two songs: Secrets and If you were there.
She also took the opportunity to zip line in Montreal’s Old Port and grab some good fries in the corner, she revealed.
Louane will present her show Le club des sentiments on June 14th at the Théâtre Maisonneuve, Place des Arts, as part of Francos de Montréal. Tickets are available online.
Art as a catalyst for his ADHD
Louane was diagnosed with ADHD when she was 8 years old. Since she didn’t grow up with well-known role models in the artists’ colony, she doesn’t hesitate to make her voice heard on the subject.
“I like talking about it today because I want people to know that it’s normal.” I don’t know if I want to be a “role model,” but it’s important to me to get the message across that ADHD isn’t an end in itself is and we can enjoy it, she stressed. The art and fact of writing allows me to learn to actually catalyze all of this.
