The secrets of the tubes – 10/12. Every weekend in the summer, Philippe Dufreigne tells you the manufacturing secrets and the little-known history of the hits you all know. Today, I’m waiting for Jenifer’s love
And so a career begins. January 2002, Jenifer wins the first Star Academy. At Universal, we work hard to find him songs worthy of his first record. And the proposals are numerous.
“I knew what I didn’t want, basically, and then I read the lyrics, and I saw if I might sing them or not. I tried a lot of songs in the studio, a lot, a lot. And I remembered those who made me things, emotions”, book Jenifer.
In this case, it is True Love, the song of a Swedish artist, Johanna Demker, unknown in France, which seduces Jenifer. Once the title has been chosen, the objective is to adapt the text in French.
“I completely cracked because there were guitars, it was sung in English, and then there was the adaptation, and I met Anna Filippi who wrote the lyrics for this song. And yes… This is the first song in my repertoire.”
“My Heart Song”
This is the time of incredible success. 800,000 copies of the album are sold. And Jenifer – out of the confined world of telecrochet – is finally in contact with her audience.
“I had small memory lapses from time to time, because I was being grabbed by the human in front of me and, sometimes, I even saw tears. The smile of people who wanted to discuss, and then finally, I lost the lyrics, I lost my footing, and there they were!”.
J’attends l’amour is still a highlight of the singer’s concerts today. And this song has a very special place in his heart. Emotion is never far away when she interprets it.
“It’s the very first, it’s the one that allowed me to make the first contact with the public, so my first song. It’s still my first song! It’s still my favorite song, of course”.
And of course, the title is essential on stage, during the tours of the singer.
