starting the album

There wasn’t any precise event—just tiredness. I had just finished recording three albums in my room, after having discovered that it was possible to work with a laptop—and maybe I abused this. For me, it’s wonderful to record at my own rhythm in my privacy. That allowed me to both work and have a baby ; I hired a babysitter and had a sound engineer at home at the same time, so I was going from one to the other. But after a while, I started to suffocate, to feel secluded. It was time for me to go out, to meet people, to become a bit more physical again. I had to put myself in danger and let the unknown come back to me. For months, while I was breastfeeding, I didn’t see any further than the top of my breast (laughs)…
