"My project 'Il était onze fois' is coming to an end. But I like to think that an ending is always just the beginning of something new. I’m charging into the future at full speed. My conclusion? This eleventh album. It’s a return to my roots. I’m closing a chapter. Not 'THE' chapter, as there are many chapters in life. I wanted to forget the superfluous and focus on what truly matters. My story began with my parents. Everything has an end: successes, projects, songs, heartbeats... but not love—the real, great, powerful love. The end of Alphonse Lemay could only mark the beginning of something profound. I accompanied my father as he closed the final chapter of his life on earth. Just as he taught me to tie my shoes, he taught me to close the loops of life with dignity. 'Le Baiser De l'Horizon' is a tribute to my parents. It marks the end of 'Il était onze fois.' And this ending feels like the beginning of an opera."
