Came to promote her new album Ninety-Five on the set of the show We are live February 5, 2022, Angèle (26) wanted to talk about moments from her childhood that shaped her, in particular the sometimes harsh words of her mother, Laurence Bibot. Facing her, Léa Salamé reminds her of an anecdote from the documentary dedicated to her on Netflix. In this one, she evokes a key moment that made her react.
“In the film there is a moment your mother who says: “When Angèle was 4 or 5 years old, I told her ‘My daughter you are very beautiful but it will not be enough‘“.”Yeah, she blamed herself afterreplies the singer. Because she said to herself ‘Why did I say that to a 5-year-old girl?’ And in fact I think it’s important that she told me. (…) Precisely this physical aspect is something to which I am really attached. It’s true that when I started I didn’t really care (…) because what I wanted was for people to listen to me and my music.“
Have you become obsessed with your image?
But when she suddenly became famous, the pretty blonde suddenly changed her attitude. She explains : “And then once I was listened to, I saw myself everywhere, on all the TVs, in all the festivals, on all the giant screens and you say to yourself: “Ah, is that what I look like? Ah I have a good profile!“.”And there you have become obsessed with your image ?” asks Léa Salamé, “Yes and it’s something that today I’m trying to detach myself from. It’s hard to go back but it’s possible and I think it’s important because otherwise after that I’m getting away from why I wanted to make music.“replies the singer, very pragmatic despite her young age.
During the show, Edwy Plenel was also invited to promote his book Left of the impossible. He also strongly fell out with the actor Gérard Darmon during his interview who compared him to a “bogeyman of politics“.
