Lio appeals to the public to finance his next album

Lio is “trying something crazy”: releasing a new album, with the financial support of the public. In a video posted on Monday, May 27 on Instagram, the singer announces the creation of a prize fund to help her finance this project independently.

“I’m going to try to make a new album, but a new album the way I want to do it,” he explains to the camera.

“With girls I like – and some boys too – but alone, not selling my rights to big labels or labels that don’t want me anyway,” the artist continues. “Because a 60-year-old pop singer is the only one who wants one. And maybe you?”

This collection was launched on the Kiss Kiss Bank Bank platform, for a period of one month. Internet users can donate a free amount or buy one of the packs provided (reserve the physical album for 25 euros, the digital album for 15 euros, get a ticket for the raffle for 10 euros or a t-shirt). Four. Five…).

Songs written by Hoshi or Corine

“If you want to listen to a new album, with songs, where I called the best girl authors from France and Navarra…” Lio announces in his video. She gives more information in a note of intent published on the crowdfunding platform:

“I called Hoshi, Corine, Owlle, Betta Lemme, Isia Marie and others to write songs for me because I’m a singer first and foremost and it’s this new generation of girls that made me want to come back.”

“I started with the models! But I don’t have the money to continue and make this album that has been traveling with me since 2020,” he continues, before concluding: “To your good heart and your wallets, please.”

40% of the goal already achieved

The initiative seems to have found its audience. While the singer rejoices on the platform, in 24 hours 40% of the expected sum has already been raised, with 392 contributions and 496 pre-orders. Those who wish to support the project still have 28 days to do so.

Lio became known in the 1980s with the hits Banana split, Brunettes do not count for plums EITHER shouldn’t start. His last album, Lio Canta Caymmidates back to 2018. At the same time, she has led an eclectic career as an actress, television judge (New Star, between 2008 and 2010) and has distinguished herself on numerous occasions for her feminist speeches. She recently testified about her stepfather’s rape of her, of which she was a victim as a child.
