Christophe on working with Kylie Minogue

In a radio interview with Voltage FM, Christophe waxed philosophic about the meaning of the album title "Caffeine", revealed his secrets for leading a normal life, dished about working with Kylie Minogue…and told another hilarious story about his mother.

Subtitled here:

State of Grace becomes...

Confirming the rumours, Christophe Willem's new cd will contain a cover of an unreleased Britney Spears song, "State of Grace". The French version is called "Entre Nous et le Sol", lyrics by Christophe and Skye. It's unknown so far whether he recorded an English version as well.

Christophe talks about Berlin

Christophe recently did a tv spot where he talked about his new single, and the story behind it. The video below has English subtitles (and several bad puns on his song titles, which don't translate at all, lol). You'll also hear a sneak peak of the English version of "Berlin", which will likely be released as a bonus track when the album comes out. In other interviews, Christophe has said that the song is about letting go in a place where pleasure is everywhere, and nothing is forbidden.



Berlin is currently #22 on the French charts. Apparently the music video is being shot this week - I'll make a subtitled version once it's been released.

If you want to download the song (legally!!), I was able to do so through the website Starzik for 0,99€. You may have other options, depending on where you live, but many sites require that you live in France.

Album Details and Pre-ordering Caféine

The official site now has tons of goodies, including a tracklist, new photos, a biography, and more. It also promises that an English version of the site is coming soon! If you subscribe to the newsletter, you'll also get a free download of the song "Trash" sent to the email address that you provide.

The tracklist *drumroll* is as follows:

Caféine
1. Ouverture
2. L’homme en noir
3. Sensitized (duet with Kylie Minogue)
4. Berlin
5. La demande
6. Entre nous et le sol
7. Plus que tout
8. Coffee
9. Fragile
10. Trash (duet with Skye)
11. Tu te fous de nous
12. Heartbox
13. Yaourt et lavabo
14. Si je tombais (Acoustic)

Caféine Bonus Deluxe Edition also includes:
1. Holé Holé (Alternate version of "L’Homme en noir")
2. Berlin (Alternate version)
3. La Demande (Remix)
4. Si je tombais
5. Walk away (duet with Skye)

As mentioned, Caféine is now available for pre-order through the official site. By pre-ordering you’ll receive an exclusive English version of Berlin on May 25th, and immediate access to several videos and contests. Also, if you order the physical album (as opposed to digital), the official site will have it delivered to you right on May 25th... but shipping outside of France is expensive. It would've been nearly 30 euros to ship to Canada! As an alternative, Amazon.fr also has the album available for pre-order. Shipping through Amazon is more reasonably priced, but slower. Please note that I'm just passing on information - I’m not affiliated with either site! :)

Exclusives on the Official Site

As of April 16th, you will be able to pre-order Christophe's new cd Caféine! The Official Site promises tons of exclusives (songs, downloads, a chance to meet Christophe, etc.) if you pre-order. You will also get a free download of the song "Trash", which will be on the upcoming album.

If you have any questions about navigating the French on the site, just let me know and I'd be happy to help. :)

Promotion for Caféine will begin next week, so check back for new interviews, videos, and more!
