Description

Philippe B takes an empathetic and experienced look back on his past on Cigale, his most autobiographical album to date. While the singer-songwriter has always leaned into autofiction, his seventh record is the first to dive so explicitly into his memories, exploring the early stages of his career with a maturity that only years of hindsight can bring. These songs are about my twenties, but I could never have written them at the time, explains Philippe, who also composed, arranged, and produced the album.
