In 2018, a duo enters Slimane And Vitaa
was born. The winner of the fifth season of The Voice and Diam’s sidekick have indeed released the title I give it to yourecorded for the reissue of the album J4M of Vitaa. But the duo will ultimately last for several years and give birth to the album Versus in 2019. A project which allowed the duo to win six NRJ Music Awards, a Victoire de la Musique, and remain at the top of sales for eight weeks as recalled by our colleagues at Purecharts
.
But in 2021, the two artists decided to separate in order to each focus on their solo careers. “This project was a parenthesis in our careers, a very nice parenthesis”for example said Slimane in the columns of the Voice of the North. No clash or animosity between the two as confirmed Vitaa for his part: “It’s the end of many things, it’s also the beginning of other things together. Resuming our solo careers was just the plan. People will have to get used to the idea of Vitaa without Slimane and vice versa. We had a life before, we will have a life after”she confided before ensuring that their friendship was still relevant: “We’re in the studio together to help each other on our respective albums.”.

Slimane and Vitaa are still a hit despite their separation
And even if they are “separated” today, that doesn’t stop the duo from exploding the scores. Indeed, as pointed out Purechartsthe album Versus has just surpassed one million sales. Our colleagues focused their attention on the sales figures recorded by the SNEP of the joint project.
After reaching 500,000 sales in 2020, the album continued to sell to fans. So much so that in 2023, VersuS would have sold 59,700 copies. And 1,210 new additional sales would have been recorded at the start of 2024. This allows the album to Vitaa And Slimane to exceed one million sales. Enough to motivate them to reform their duo to the delight of fans.
