Nolwenn Leroy is back this Monday, May 18 on TF1’s L’Été 36, and on this occasion, she answered questions from Gala.fr, particularly about her music career.

One year after Covid-19, Nolwenn Leroy returned to music to take us on a journey. With “Brésil Finistère,” the singer promised us a dancing summer and revealed a much sunnier image. A few months later, she released the album “La Cavale” produced by Benjamin Biolay and Pierre Jaconelli. Since 2021, Nolwenn Leroy has shifted away from music, preferring fictional projects. “It’s true that, time-wise, it’s been a while since the last album. I feel like a lot of people are starting to ask me questions about this break,” she shared in an interview to be published. “Acting is taking up more space than expected.”

“I’ll be back soon, I’m counting on 2027,” Nolwenn Leroy promises at the beginning of the interview. She’s at a turning point in her career. After changing teams during the promotion of her last album, she now faces a major challenge in reshaping her team. “I ended my contract with Universal, La Cavale was my last album, and I spent twenty-five years with them. Today, I’ve never been so free. So the question will be how to embrace this freedom as best as possible by surrounding myself with the right people in strategic roles in what music has become today,” she confides.

Nolwenn Leroy is well aware that the music industry has evolved significantly in recent years. Artists no longer need a record label; some even launch independently and only use a structure for distributing their records. This is a possibility that the artist, who shares her life with Arnaud Clément, is considering: “I think it’s a chance in relation to my journey and what was imposed on me at the beginning, to have this freedom today. It’s wonderful, and at the same time, it’s dizzying when you’ve worked differently for twenty years.”

One thing is certain – when Nolwenn Leroy presents her new project, it will have been carefully thought out, starting with a “strong concept.”
