Five months after his victory in season 12 of the Star AcademyMarine enters the big leagues. The one who, just a year ago, decided to stop his dentist studies to embark on music, finally see that his dream comes true this Friday, June 27 with the launch of his first album. Clumsy heart.
In this album, it was thought of as an entrance door to his universe, the 25 -year -old singer, from Arras in northern France, is involved in his roots, in his love life, but also addresses other more universal themes such as mental health, mourning, harassment or self -esteem.
“I wanted (this album) to be like a presentation. (…) Each title is a small part of me, of my story, what I experienced. I wanted me to represent me well, that I was sincere in the texts,” said BFMTV’s microphone singer.
“I tried to address issues that can talk to everyone. I hope I can talk to several generations,” he said.
“I am without artifice”
Clumsy heart Thus it opens to the title Ordinary girlA vojection of piano co -written by Eddy de Pretto that echoes the song Common By Robert Charlebois sung by Marine at the opening of the first cousin of the Star Academy. In this title, the singer prepares his self -portrait, that of an “ordinary girl full of joy and galleys” that wishes to remain “fragile and too sincere.”
“I have no artifice, I say words that are not necessary. I make basic smiles to the people you should not. I look in the mirror to accept my life. It’s me,” she sings.
In this album, Marine also pays tribute to his region, Pas-de-Calais, and its inhabitants through the song Good people. In this fresh musical, the artist represents his adolescence shaken by the 206 tires “that shout in Bethune’s parking lot,” says his love for his native north, “I think my heart in red brick,” and even jokes about certain clichés in the region as the consanguinity and where the presence of many Kévin.
“The northern people was a real support, so it seemed wink and put some humor,” Marine said in the columns of Paris Match magazine.
“Does nothing anymore, Dalida, right now”
But with Clumsy heartMarine also reveals a much more intimate part of her life by addressing the theme of mourning in the song JewelWritten in 2021, or the history of his grandmother, who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease, in the pop ballad Dalida.
“That (Dalida) was one of the most mentally complicated songs to do. I gave up a lot. At first I didn’t want to talk about it, I was in a denial, I was a little angry,” Marine said in early June on The Daily Show set.
“Then, then, I was at a family meal with my grandmother, my father spent a Dalida vinyl, and she looks at me and told me and tells me super first grade:” She is no longer doing anything, Dalida, at this time. “
Another badge of the album: the lack of self -confidence and the gaze of others. In Love me all the time AND Alrightco -written with Joseph Kamel and Daysy, Marine evokes his complicated relationship with his body, his complexes and the criticisms he suffered, in particular after his visit to the Star Academy.
“The problem of harassment is important for me. I lived it younger, I also witnessed it, especially through a friend who harassed at the university and ended his life,” Marine reveals in Paris.
“So I wanted to talk about that in the song and say that the difference is important to understand it, accept it.”
While the tour of the Star Academy It must be completed on June 29 in Aix-en-Provence after a three-month tour and more than thirty dates, Marine is already preparing to return to the stage “by 2026” to present his first live album to his audience. “It’s the logical continuation,” he told BFMTV. “Everything in its time, but after the album, the goal is to defend the titles on stage, as soon as”.
