Last spring, Cœur de pirate took to social networks to announce its musical return in a very original way. The interpreter of Comme des enfants then published a photo that seemed to be taken from a staging. Dressed in orange from head to toe, Béatrice Martin, her real name, had a funny look in a funny setting. Piñata in her hands, the singer poses in the middle of two giant panels of works. A lunar scenography carried by this equally ubiquitous title: Plan à trois. “It’s a little harder to explain this one but it comes out on the 28th“, said Cœur de pirate in legend.
Back on the front of the stage, the Quebec singer therefore multiplies the media appearances in order to promote her fifth album entitled Impossible to love. Currently pregnant with her second toddler, the 32-year-old mother has notably returned to her vocal cord surgery. “I don’t see my voice like I used to. I thought she would be here forever, which might not have been the case anymore. Musically, I allowed myself things that I didn’t dare to do in the past“, she declared to our colleagues from Télé 7 Jours.
Coeur de pirate evokes a traumatic interview
In a new interview with Brut, the singer also spoke about the sexism she suffered in her debut. “There was a lot of rock, there were a lot of bands, and there were no girls and women. So, I found myself a bit like a UFO. And it was fascinating to see how the attention was not necessarily on my songs but more on my physique“, she explains.
But what marked Cœur de pirate was above all an interview which then took place very strangely. “I did a TV where I was asked a question, like: ‘Do you go to bed the first night?’ There was someone who commented: ‘No, but if you don’t go to bed the first night, that’s not possible’. And I remember, I said something like: ‘No, when you say no, it’s no’. And they had laughed. Everyone had laughed. And I didn’t understand why. And it really shocked me in a way“, she said before explaining that she had been criticized for her behavior during this interview:”I was told: ‘Beatrice, you have to be careful what you say because, honestly, people will say that you are difficult and will not invite you again’. “
