Gérald De Palmas: L'étranger


I featured this track in audio format when it first surfaced in August ahead of the release of his Best of album Sur ma Route which was released in November.

I never got round to linking to it when the full video emerged, so I thought now was as good a time as any to do so.

The Sur Ma Route album includes the song L'étranger as well as De Palmas's own version of his Song Marie which he wrote in 2002, which became a number one hit for Johnny Hallyday after he recorded it for his A la vie, à la mort album,

De Palmas released his most recent full album, Sortir, in 2009. He's released five studio albums and one live collection, and has won two NRJ Music Awards, best francophone male artist in 2002 and best francophone album in 2002, as well as two Victoires de la Musique awards for male breakthrough act of 1996 and best male artist of 2002.

He is playing two dates in Paris later this year, a sold-out show at la cigale on March 8 and at l'Olympia on May 30.
