On Instagram, Marine, whose grandmother has Alzheimer’s, officially announces a new single shared with Félix Radu. Inspired by the Star Academy, the singer, who is very anxious, confirms an unexpected collaboration. The video shared on Monday, April 27 highlights their closeness. Fans are intrigued as a simple studio session has turned into a real joint project, set to be released this Friday.
A studio meeting that changes everything
It all starts in the studio with a light challenge: to compose a song in an hour. At first, no one expects anything serious. Yet ideas come quickly. Marine says, “A few weeks ago, we met in the studio for a challenge: to create a song in an hour.” Each one proposes verses and a chorus. Then melodies emerge and words follow effortlessly. The exercise then takes on a new dimension as a true connection appears between the two artists.
Marine jokingly mentions that after “a thousand laughs” and “a lot of pushing” from her audience, the duo decided to go further. Thus, the improvised draft became a full-fledged song project. They rework the lyrics, refine the harmonies, search for the right sound texture, and keep the energy of the initial draft. This spontaneous method already appeals to many because it appears sincere and direct, without heavy strategies or pre-formulated speeches. Fans especially appreciate this creative freedom, which is relatively rare today.
“I was told”: a highly anticipated title
Entitled “I was told,” the song will be released on Friday, May 1, 2026. It represents the first concrete outcome of this artistic encounter. Few clues are circulating about the final production, although several signs point towards a sensitive and current pop sound. Marine enjoys genuine emotions while Félix Radu cultivates a unique tone. Together, they could blend confidences, clear melodies, and catchy choruses. The title is already attracting curiosity as it arises from a simple moment that has become a concrete promise, in just a few weeks of work.
Since the release of the video, reactions have been swift. Comments emphasize the visible bond between the two artists and eagerly anticipate the full release. “The sound we needed,” writes Sony Music France. Many express their anticipation for this duo since the first shared excerpts in the studio. It is worth noting that Marine has retained a loyal following since the Star Academy, while 30-year-old Belgian actor Félix Radu captivates with his unique universe. Clearly, the release of this single is more eagerly awaited than ever before.
