Slimane: why you will see him much less this year! (VIDEO)

popular singer, Slimane devoted five years of his life to singing a duet with Vitaa. Together, they have multiplied the successes (It comes and goes, Before you, I give it to you…), concert dates throughout France, awards and television appearances. High point at the end of 2019, when the two artists squatted on the small screen during the holiday season, having been invited to no less than eight shows during the month of December. If everyone has since taken a solo path, the winner of The Voice 5 would still like to take a step back, he who is still in great demand.

Her “mental load” took a hit

This Saturday, January 21, Slimane was the guest of Éric Dussart and Jade in We redo the TV on RTL. The young man returned to this overflow of promotion in the media and revealed that certain moments brought him closer to a burn-out: “I lived three whirlwind years with Versus, tours etc. and yes, sometimes we can’t take it anymore, we’re tired. Afterwards, it’s always touching to talk about that when today everyone is on strike, because there are guys – my father is one of them – who have worked all their lives carrying bigger bags than them. It’s hard to talk about burnout, when we’re going to sing!“, believes the singer-songwriter of 33 years. He recognizes however “thatthere is a mental load that is quite high, when you do this job“. What pushes him today to “brake” and “take some time” for him.

A planned media retreat to spend time with family

The father of a little Esmeralda had a long reflection on the subject leading him to an observation: “I have the impression that there are two families of artists, there are some who know how to make themselves rare, and there are others who are there when we call them, almost all the time. Me, I’m kind of one of those who are there all the time. And I was wondering if sometimes it’s not good too, a bit like in a romantic relationship, to create a tiny bit of desire“, he admits. And to do this, Florent Pagny’s protege intends to step back, as he explains in what may be his last interview for a long time: “Now I’m not on tour (…), so this year, it is expected that in any case I take a little time for my daughter and me. It’s not even a question of ‘what’s best for my career?’. There, it’s really my ‘animal’ instinct, I need to be with my daughter, to see her grow up. So yes, I will be a little less there“.
