After five years of discretion, Christophe William orchestrated his great comeback much to the delight of his fans. Last April, the artist conquered the crowds with the title PS: I love you co-written with Slimane. A nice revenge in short… Because his last opus Rio unveiled in 2017 did not find its audience. A hard blow for the singer who worked like hell to wrap it up. A subject that Christophe Willem evoked without filter in the podcast “The lesson” by Pauline Grisoni which is illustrated in personal development.
“It’s an accident of course, of something that does not meet with success […] but it reopened much older wounds that dated back to adolescence”, he confessed in a sequence. A period that left him with a bitter taste. “When I was a teenager, I was very stigmatized […] Me, I was the fag of the playground […] After my sister signed me up for La Nouvelle Star and so I won the show. I find myself in a thing of: ‘so that is to say that I spent my time walking along the walls so as not to be the target and there, welcome, hello, it’s me who sings! », added Christophe Willem.
“I was very embarrassed to go to the Restos du Coeur…”
The opportunity for the interpreter of “Double je” to indulge in his long crossing of the desert. “From 2006 until the Rio album, as I was carried, I mistakenly believed that the love I received from people made up for the lack of self-esteem I had. And in fact, when there was this failure, I understood that I had not taken this love for what it was, but as a substitute for the lack of self-esteem.added Christophe Willem.
In the midst of turmoil, he never stopped questioning himself at all levels. “I do the Restos du Coeur. Bah from 2018 until then, I was super embarrassed to go to the Restos du Coeur when they are all super benevolent […] because in my head, indicated the famous composer and to conclude: “I felt like I was the guy we were going to point the finger at like in the playground.” Terrible memories that never left his mind…
