Bertrand Belin

Composer, film and theatre actor, novelist, this self-taught guitarist played and wrote for others for a long time before establishing himself as a singer. Although many influences have been attributed to him, from Bashung to Hubert-Félix Thiéfaine or Philippe Katerine in particular, it is as an unclassifiable that he has become a key figure on the French music scene: always on the fringe of trends, styles and fashions, this troubadour artist is above all a remarkable word player!

On tour after the release of his 7th album, he remains an artist with a singular language that conveys emotions, a master in the art of existentialist storytelling with intimate echoes, while escaping the straitjacket of the "committed singer" label!

With this Tambour Vision, written in camera during the pandemic with his accomplice Thibault Frisoni, we find the formidable storyteller with a deep voice who has no equal for giving voice to a vast gallery of truculent characters of universal scope. In this new opus, chiselled by Renaud Letang's refined arrangements, rhythm boxes, keyboards and mellotron
In this new album, chiselled by Renaud Letang's refined arrangements, drum machines, keyboards and mellotron carry an electro-pop with a refined writing where jazz and rockabilly accents tinkle according to the tracks.

Bertrand Belin distils a whimsical ballad, full of poetic irony that goes straight to the soul!
