New album in the series announced

Michel Polnareff has announced the follow-up to his 2022 album Polnareff chante Polnareff, which featured re-recordings of his greatest hits. The new release will be the second volume of this project and is scheduled for December 4 of this year.

Release timeline and content

Following the release of his original album Un temps pour elles in 2025, Polnareff will unveil the second volume of Polnareff chante Polnareff. This album will include tracks such as "Tous les bateaux, tous les oiseaux," a 1969 hit, and "Kama sutra," recorded in the late 1980s at the Royal Monceau, where he lived at the time.

Artistic approach and track listing

Michel Polnareff will present a version of his cult songs that is "more intimate, more stripped down, and more exposed." The album consists of 11 tracks, including "La Belle veut sa revanche," "Je t'aime," and "Tam Tam," allowing him to explore all the eras of his extensive discography.

First volume highlights

In the first volume of these re-recordings, Polnareff revisited twelve of his major hits, such as "Goodbye Marilou," "Lettre à France," and "La Poupée qui fait non." These re-recordings offer a fresh perspective on his classic works.

Personal background and recent activities

At the age of 82, Michel Polnareff lives in the United States, where he has been in exile since the 1970s following issues with the tax authorities. He undertook a tour in 2025 titled "Ma dernière tournée," which took him to the Apollo Theater in London and the Zénith venues in France.
