Renaud, l'album

Back cover

The first critical biography of the singer by the man to whom Renaud holds no secrets...

It was in 1975 that Renaud Séchan, born on 11 May 1952 in Paris, made his debut under the name Renaud on the French ‘text-based’ music scene. That year, he released his first album. Two years later, “Laisse béton” propelled him to the top of the charts, a position from which he would never fall… 2002 marked Renaud’s grand comeback. In 2001, he received the Victoire d’honneur at the “Victoires de la musique” for his entire body of work; this summer saw the release of his new album “Boucan d’enfer”; next December, Renaud will perform at the Zénith for the fourth time, before embarking on a major tour of the provinces, Belgium, Switzerland and Quebec throughout 2003...This monograph from the “Poésie et chansons” collection – a concise yet comprehensive biography – is the work of Renaud’s brother, Thierry Séchan. It is followed by an anthology of his works (45 out of 134 texts, including previously unreleased songs from his latest album), a complete discography and a bibliography.
