Sunday Interview. Julien Doré: "Making a covers album requires real creativity."

The public discovered you through your covers on “Nouvelle Star”. Eighteen years later, you released Imposteur , an album of covers… Has this come full circle?

"The cover was a starting point in spite of myself, yes, because that was the principle of "Nouvelle Star", but it's an exercise that I appreciate because it requires you to make a music your own and then transform it by adding a touch of your personality. I've been wanting to end my artistic cycle with a cover album for a long time. That's done with Imposteur and, in a way, it's a way for me to take a look in the rearview mirror before moving on to something new."

Anything new?

"Definitely a new album, with a completely new artistic project. I'm not ruling anything out."
