Nolwenn Leroy is back with a brand new album, The mare. For this new project co-signed by Benjamin Biolay, the artist does not escape the various interviews and indiscreet questions that the promotion requires. After being poured out on her son or on her family life, the singer was questioned about her artistic choices by our colleagues from the Parisian, Friday November 12, 2021.
Explaining first that she had managed to “let go” on the writing of this new opus, Nolwenn Leroy was asked about her outfit on the album cover. “Letting go also means posing sexy on a horse in your record? “, asked the reporter. “But I always ride in a nightie. Guys, you forget that I have often been very scantily dressed on my records”, she replies jokingly.
Recalling that she was already posing naked for her projects Natural Stories, Gems or O daughters of the water. “The pockets are very important – I work on the image with my mom – and I don’t want the clothing to take too much of the symbolism. As for the horse, which also looks like mine, I’ve been doing it since I was little and it was obvious with The mare. And then the conquering side, Amazon, Farrah Fawcett and Funny ladies, pleased me. After confinement, it was time to dare, to let go of the horses …“, develops the singer with our colleagues.
After nearly twenty years of career, Nolwenn Leroy was “super relaxed “ when writing his album. “I was ready as a woman and an artist to indulge (…) When I started, twenty years ago, people did not give a lot of my skin. I was able to build album after album my own little world, a career as an artist, with its ups and downs. And there, I feel a perfect alignment between what I am and this album, which marks the beginning of a new cycle “, she explains. A great gift as the holidays approach.
