We know her as an actress, in the cinema, on television and in the theatre. Corn Sophie Marceau has other strings to its bow. In 1981, the actress, barely 15 years old, agreed to share a sung duet with François Valéry entitled dream in blue. The title had been an incredible success the following winter and the 45 rpm had been certified gold for more than 500,000 copies sold. But not everyone in the artist’s entourage was thrilled about this risk-taking.
I needed to be more focused on my film career
“I never thought I would do this in my lifeexplains Sophie Marceau, on France 2, in the program Telematin on March 10, 2022. None of that anyway. François Valéry is a great composer, we met during an organized trip I think, I’m not sure anymore… and we became friends. We talked a lot. He composes all the time, he wrote this song, I said banco it’s so cool, we’re going to do that. But it didn’t make everyone around me happy because I needed to be more focused on my film career.“
At the same time, Sophie Marceau exploded on the big screen since her duet with François Valéry was released between the two parts of the saga The party, which revealed the actress to the public. Guess she made the right choice. She not only continued to excel in film – she is starring in the film I Love America, by Lisa Azuelos, on March 11, 2022 on Amazon Prime – but she also continued, at her own pace, to sing from time to time. She released an album, Certaintyin 1985, and took over Life in pink, by Edith Piaf, in 2014 on the occasion of the grand gala of Chinese television for the New Year. She also participated in the single Freedom, Enfoirés, in 2016. Would she be ready to give back her voice? “I don’t know, I don’t know what tomorrow holdsshe admits. But why not…“
