Christophe Willem

On 2 December 2027 Christophe Willem will perform at Forest National in Forest. Since his breakthrough in 2006, when he won Nouvelle Star, the French singer has built a solid career. His debut album, Inventaire (2007), produced the hit “Double Je” and was named “Élu produit de l’année”; he went on to release Caféine, Prismophonic and Paraît-il. His music moves fluidly between pop, electronic and French chanson, with that distinctive falsetto voice at the forefront.

Live, Willem shifts smoothly between driving synth-pop and more subdued moments. The set combines his best-known tracks with more recent work, in arrangements that leave room for melody and rhythm without burying the voice. Expect compact hooks, quiet breathing spaces and a band that's tight but playful. Without frills he draws a line through almost two decades of songs, from radio hits to album favourites. An evening for those who like French pop modern and accessible, in a setting that lets the songs speak.
