Alex Beaupain is back in the limelight with an album, released on October 22, 2021, titled Love on the beat. As its name suggests, this new opus is a complete reinterpretation of the hits of Serge Gainsbourg, whose artist even uses the iconic cover – make up, slicked back hair, cigarette in mouth. And it was at night that he studied these titles, he who struggles so much to fall asleep. 25 years ago, an event took away the desire to sleep forever. The singer’s fiancee, Aude Monnin, died at the age of 26 leaving a nightclub.
She didn’t understand how I could hate this pure happiness
This period of mourning helped Alex Beaupain to build himself. It also inspired, in part, the script of a film for which he signed the soundtrack. “When Aude died the first thing I did was write songs, he remembers in the columns of the magazine Marie Claire. At one of the most overwhelming moments of my life. I realized what I was. A singer. It is also founder because love songs, Christophe Honoré’s first film, which tells this story, kicked off my career, which was gently declining. “
