2016. After the delightful period of the Casseurs Flowters, Orelsan wants to come back with a new solo album. However, five years have passed and rap music has changed. New trends, new artists. Is Orelsan still relevant?
2010. A year after the controversy, Orelsan has totally stopped making music. When Skread and Ablaye finally persuade him to make a second album, the hardest part is to find how to come back.
2011. With Le Chant des Sirènes, Orelsan is playing in the big leagues. As a master of opposite moves, he takes everyone aback by deciding to discontinue his solo undertaking.
2008. Orelsan is now on track to write an album, but none of his titles is radio-compatible. There is only one thing left to do: go and get his audience by performing on stage.
2006. Orelsan is a rapper from Caen, Normandy. In order to bring out his first album, he'll have to make his way by himself. The advent of MySpace is a boon, but he still has to sign with a label.
