Gaëtan Roussel

For years, Gaëtan Roussel has been tracing a distinctive line between French chanson and understated rock, propelled by an immediately recognizable voice and a taste for clear, memorable melodies. An attentive songwriter who pays close attention to words, he alternates collective projects with personal excursions, extending the journey he began with Louise Attaque through a solo discography where acoustic elements meet more modern textures, without losing the simplicity of the chorus that lingers in the mind.

With Marjolaine, his sixth studio album announced for 14 November 2025, he continues this thread: lyrics in chiaroscuro, supple guitars, and rhythms that move forward without force. On stage, his songs gain in relief, between precise arrangements, gentle pulses and a way of letting the voice lead the dance. There you find the restrained energy that suits him well, a mix of recent songs and standout pieces from his repertoire.

Gaëtan Roussel will be at the Carré des Docks Le Havre Normandie, in Le Havre, on 31 October 2026. The concert is conceived for the live experience, where one can closely follow the contours of frank, elegant songwriting—free of unnecessary effects and propelled by the continuous momentum that characterizes his career.
