Zazie's new album, Volatil, is set to release on October 2. The album took six months of writing and a year of production, blending new songs with some she had written earlier. In an interview with the French news site 20 Minutes, Zazie talked about the album's recurring themes of disillusionment and questioning the world, covering topics such as global violence and Alzheimer's disease. Though some subjects are serious and sensitive, the album’s musical styles—often rock, pop, or electronic—create a contrast that makes the songs inviting for dancing, as seen in the opening track, "Une ordonnance." Zazie expressed being "hurt in many places" by the Pelicot affair, a high-profile case involving allegations of abuse and betrayal. She emphasized the importance of listening to women’s voices in the context of the Patrick Bruel affair, which also involved similar issues. She also discussed the album’s production process, including the selection of singles and her decision to self-publish rather than have her songs edited for radio play. For example, she chose "La même histoire" for its more austere tone and insisted on keeping all the lyrics without any cuts. Zazie also shared her thoughts on artificial intelligence, acknowledging concerns about generative AI but noting that music involves emotional and unpredictable elements that AI cannot replicate. She reflected on the emotional weight of social media comments and the decision to keep her gray hair, despite public scrutiny about her appearance. In the song "La Nostalgie," she explores themes of aging and memory, describing nostalgia as a form of self-compassion. In "Y'a plus de saison," Zazie addresses issues of control and violence against women, partly inspired by the Pelicot affair. She also mentioned participating in a solidarity concert for victims of fires in France, which raised over two million euros in donations. The event underscored the power of collective action and the importance of solidarity in times of crisis.
