Brown hair, penetrated look, the singer Pierre Pierre maintains an (almost) intact mystery. Who is he? Where does he come from? Seemingly landed from another time, he celebrates love, bringing back to the taste of the day the variety song for our greatest happiness. Nostalgic for the genre, Pierre Pierre does not hesitate to affirm that “many French people spit on French variety, but with a few drinks in the blood, everyone dances to the hits of the 70s and 80s”.

Fiercely romantic but never mawkish, Pierre Pierre contrasts with current trends, appearing as a paradoxical breath of fresh air. His many influences – among which are Joe Dassin, Hervé Vilard, Michel Delpech, Christophe – are found in the original compositions that make up Mon disque d’or, a first album presented as a best-of.

Sixteen tracks full of poetry, with accents that are in turn melancholic, passionate, frivolous or serious, including the unforgettable. Sixteen finely orchestrated pieces, ranging from rock to slow dance or disco, on which some forty musicians were involved.
