Alex Beaupain: Coule

A new clip for the track Coule by Alex Beaupain, directed by fellow musician Julien Doré

It's the third track form his Après moi le déluge collection, his fourth album, which was  released last year. A second edition of the album came out in November, with an additional five tracks.

Beaupain's musical career began in composing songs for stage and films in the 1990, before the release of his first solo album in 2005 Garçon d'honneur.

His film work continued, winning in 2008 a César for the best music for his soundtrack of the film Les Chansons d'amour, as well as a nomination in 2010 for  Non ma fille tu n'iras pas danser and another nomination in 2012 for Les Bien-Aimés.

His 2011 third album Pourquoi battait mon coeur contained the single  Au départ, which was adopted as the campaign song for François Hollande's presedential campaign the following year. The song was a clever re-telling up of the history of the left in France in terms of a couple's relationship.

Beaupain has a series of live dates in France, as he continues the tour he began last year.
