“It’ll be fine”, “I don’t know”, “The girls of today”, “Happiness“…One might believe that he is a fan of the songs of his friend Joyce Jonathan, with whom he had a crush when they were little, at the École Alsacienne, which they both attended. Gabriel Attal, 34 years old, appointed this January 9, 2024 by Emmanuel Macron to succeed Élisabeth Borne at Matignon, likes music that is a little more nervous.
Gabriel Attal is a fan of Orelsan
Indeed, in an interview given to Paris Match, dating from August 2018, the politician in a relationship with Stéphane Séjourné had revealed some personal information about him. At the time, he was still only the spokesperson for La République en Marche (ex-Renaissance) as well as a deputy in the 10e Hauts-de-Seine constituency. He would then be government spokesperson, responsible for public accounts, and finally Minister of Education, before becoming Prime Minister.
And to our colleagues, he answered the question “Vianney or Orelsan?” as following : “Orelsan without hesitation! His latest album is masterful (“The party is over”, editor’s note). With my colleague Cendra Motin, MP for Isère, we set up his fan club at the Assembly“.
An artist that Vianney himself would not deny! We indeed remember, in 2021, when he was coach The Voice for the first time, that Catherine’s husband Robert had surprised everyone by singing the hit “Suicide Social” by heart from his red armchair, during the blind auditions of a candidate.
A rapper accused of homophobia?
Heavily criticized for certain words, notably a passage accused of being homophobic, he was then forced to respond on Twitter: “Some seem to discover “Social Suicide”, a song by a wonderful artist who denounces the clichés of this world. Thank you to those who understood this text & my intentions, respectful of all. A little height makes you happier, and allows you to hear better“.
As a reminder, the Orelsan text that Vianney had at the time taken up on TF1 was as follows: “Goodbye to those who live through their sexuality. Dancing on carts, is that your pride? The Care Bears and their rainbow power who would have me believe that being straight is old fashioned. So so touchy. To prove that you’re not homophobic, you’ll soon have to suck guys off.”.
