Hearing special speaking voice and laugh of Sylvie and what she says is always another fascination we can not miss anything!


Such as (on Episode no.4), the year of L'Olympia Paris 1972 (Sylvie, age 28), an interviewer on France Inter said to Sylvie something like this :

"They say a lot that Sylvie Vartan has become a woman who is perfectly integrated into the show business world. Nearly the businesswoman in the showbusiness, entertainment industry today. That is, the woman who is capable of controling over everything that happens on stage, viewing what she wants to see happening around her with her dancers and musicians,  presenting her own show (concert) that is perfectly choreographed and executed."

That's true, Sylvie Vartan is far more than one singer who just sings. What's more, she herself who has the grace is so special by nature in many respects, which is indescribable but sets her apart from others.

* Originally on air in January to February 2025, at the time of Sylvie Vartan Ultimate Concerts au Palais des Congres de Paris 2025.

"TOUT RESTE A DIRE" - SINGLE (DUO) - 16 MAY 2025

A duet with singer-songwriter Leonard Lasry. It was originally written and composed by him for Sylvie's 50th studio album of 2021 "MERCI POUR LE REGARD," in which she sings to the piano. It feels as if tears come naturally.

This time, he covered it with enigmatic Sylvie for his new album (coming in Jun) and release from it in advance. Such a beautiful nostalgic song with refreshing music and voices. It feels like blowing in the sea breeze in silence. A kind of work that will never fade away.
There's a fantastic door open (to a fantastic Summer) that we see on the jacket, isn't it ?


To listen to : TOUT RESTE A DIRE

SENSIBLE (ALBUM 1998/MERCURY) - 1ST VINYL LP  31.01.2025

"SENSIBLE" is the album that I can't forget. Sylvie was in Tokyo in June 1999 for a series of live. Thanks to Tony Scotti, I could get her autograph on my CD. Sylvie had a new look with short straight hairstyle just like the album jecket. In November, Sylvie had concerts at L'Olympia Paris "Tour De Siecle."
Beautiful record that includes contrasting numbers such as grand SENSIBLE, touching "DARINA" and two dynamic numbers of rock'n'roller Vartan "ODESSA" and "MA VERITE."

About DARINA," one of Sylvie Vartan's autobiographical songs, who can forget her amazing performance, singing voice at L'Oympia Paris 2009 (Formidable CD/DVD live "SYLVIE LIVE"). It's absolutely an enduring scene. On the other hand, at memorable Dome de Paris - Palais de Sports 2024, Sylvie was sentimental in a different way and we saw her crying while singing it.
