Calogero – Vidéo
Calogero, a son of Italian parents, is one of the biggest French artists of the moment. His career started at the age of 15, when he formed the band Les Charts with his brother and a childhood friend. Calogero was the lead singer and songwriter of the trio.
By the end of the century, he started a solo career. He co-wrote songs with already popular artists like Zazie and Pascal Obispo, and released his solo debut. His sophomore self-titled album sold 1,4 million copies in France alone, a success he repeated with his third long-player 3. This album contained his largest international hit Face À La Mer, a duet with Passi.
Centre Ville is Calogero’s eighth studio album to date. The songs were written during the first lockdown. Vidéo is my favourite deep cut on the record. A trademark up-tempo Calogero song with a walking bassline, an ‘80s-inspired rhythm, punctuated by strings and a highly memorable chorus. Destined to become a hit, once released as a single!
