Biography
Charlélie Couture (born February 26, 1956 in Nancy, France) is a multi-disciplinary French artist, moving from photography to song and from novels to painting and drawing with equal ease. His writing, influenced by rock poetry, stands out in the French-speaking song scene. Poèmes Rock is the title of the album that revealed the artist in 1981. Subsequently, Tom Novembre's brother, the first French singer to be signed by the Island Records label, diversified his style between chanson ("Comme un avion sans ailes" in 1981), film music(Tchao Pantin in 1983), rock, blues, reggae and electro. The diptych Solo Boys (1988) and Solo Girls (1989) are convincing examples. Based in Australia, then Chicago and New York, where he opened a painting gallery that also served as a recording studio, Charlélie Couture continued to record albums on a regular basis, as witness Melbourne Aussie (1990), Victoria Spirit (1991), Casque Nu (1997), Double Vue (2004), New YorCoeur (2006) and Fort Rêveur (2011). In 2014, ImMortel was directed by Benjamin Biolay. Then in 2016, he locked himself away in Dockside Studios in Lafayette, Louisiana, with local musicians. He emerged with the album Lafayette. Between 2019 and 2020, he puts the finishing touches to two new works: Même Pas Sommeil and Trésors Cachés et Perles Rares (made up of re-orchestrated old tracks). Extending the concept of the latter opus, he records Quelques Essentielles, featuring nine old tracks with new arrangements, plus four previously unreleased tracks. In 2024, Charlélie Couture continued his long journey with Contre Toi (No. 124 in France), followed two years later by the ecological manifesto Projet Bleu Vert, on which he invited Angélique Kidjo, Jean-Louis Aubert, Kent, Yannick Noah, Cali, Renaud Papillon Paravel, Souleymane Diamanka, Pur-Sang and Paul Watson.
