Gérald De Palmas - L'étranger


A new track by Gérald De Palmas has emerged, coming out ahead of the release on his 'Best of' album, which is to be released in November 2011

De Palmas has been releasing music as a solo artist since the release of his 1994 Le Derniere Année debut album, his reputation established by the song Sur la Route.

Previously he had worked with Etienne Daho in a band, which although not successful established him as a writer and singer, eventually coming to wider attention after winning the Musique de Demain talent show on M6.

His career has so far seen two Victoires de la Musique awards, the first was Male Revelation of the Year in '96. While his second album failed to follow his debut's success, his career enjoyed a massive resurgence in the wake of his 2000 Marcher dans le Sable album and tour, a second Victoires de la Musique award, this time for Best Male Artist coming in 2002.

The Best of Album - released on November 7- includes the song L'étranger as well as De Palmas's own unreleased version of his Song Marie which he wrote in 2002 and was recorded by Johnny Hallyday on his A la ie, à la mort album, giving Johnny not only a number one hit but also one of his signature songs.
