Slimane

On May 24, 2026, at the Salle Pleyel in Paris, Slimane returned to the stage for a concert focused on his songs and songwriting. A singer-songwriter, he moves between French pop and soul influences, with clear diction and lyrics that speak of love, breakups and those everyday moments that leave a mark. On stage, he alternates between stripped-down ballads and more rhythmic numbers, favoring arrangements that put the voice front and center.

Since his debut, he has built a recognizable repertoire, balancing notable collaborations with solo tracks that have found an audience. The setlist draws from his various projects, from his earliest albums to more recent songs, tracing a career in which emotion remains the guiding thread. No flashiness, an intentional closeness and a polished delivery, with a way of building tension before releasing a chorus that sticks in the mind.

At the Salle Pleyel, the acoustics serve this tight format perfectly and highlight the nuances, from piano-and-voice passages to more driving moments. It was an evening designed for listening closely to the songs and rediscovering Slimane’s signature touch, between immediate melodies and confessional moments.
