Wilfried*, bearded, written crooner and record songs since the beginning of the Nineties. In 2002, it left a complete album, Songs for mum and dad that l' one could bring closer to l' hypothetical work d' a French pop singer the such young person Gainsbourg, or Philippe Katerine, under lo-fi influences of the Master Daniel Johnston. L' album profited from collaborations d' friendly guests (Anne Laplantine, O.lamm, Dorine Wall, Hermann Dune, Failure, F.lor) and varied environments and the styles, between synthpop 80 ' S, worked hypnotic, folk and indie-rock'n'roll in weightlessness, Wilfried* singing alternatively in French and English (with a small charming French accent: Wilfried* is regarded as a “French singer singing sometimes in Englishâ€Â). After a pause devoted to journalism and l' writing, but also with many concerts (MoFo Festival and Soirées Tricatel in Mains d' works, Paris Beach in Pirate Guinguette, New Casino, Arrow d' however, Baron, Coffee of the Dance) and participations in several compilations (Performance 2 of the Intercontinental label Records, Pop Folks In At the Waterhouse, on Waterhouse Records), Wilfried* s' is given to write and compose for d' a new album.
The song Which is with me? , arranged by Arnaud Fleurent- Didier, left in 2005 out of individual minis in the collection " Chansonpoches" Parisian label French Touches, and constitutes the first title d' an album which comprises fifteen and presents of them readily like an concept-album around the duality, l' otherness, the meeting, the whole inspired in particular by Lewis Carroll, Beatles, electronic music or the pop mainstream. With or without guests (Hermann Dune, Bertrand Burgalat, Arnaud Fleurent-Didier, French, O.lamm, Domotic), the fourteen songs of Besides are answered symmetrically and thématiquement around a piece central mirror and will allow you to find the sesame of the rich and subtle universe of Wilfried*. It is on Which with me? that you will fall in love with Annie.
And when it is other side, you will be able to always propose to him to go to make part of Ping Pong or a turn In the Ambulance. The goal of this company being to make a music which is at the same time popular (arranged, ambitious) and intelligent (shifted, reflexive), in short, of the true pop Frenchwoman. For soon two years, Wilfried* has been accompanied on scene by a solid and tested group, giving to its songs a turning plus rock'n'roll: Jerome Laperruque (Troy Von Balthazar, Liquid Structures) with the battery, Nicolas engine (Temple Temple) with low, Cyril Guillaneuf (Luke, Winter Camp) with the keyboards, Laurent Paloma (Pokett, Paloma) with the guitar. The voice of Wilfried* points out the softness of Brésiliens singers such as Caetano Veloso and is posed, in English and French, on groundworks of musics brilliant and varied, between pop psychedelic, yéyés reactualized, removed indie-rock'n'roll. Such is the creativity of Wilfried*, relevant, changing, always charming.
