Then will come in 2009 an album that will be untitled partly because of his troubles with his former production company. In 2011 there will be another opus titled “Les inseparables”, in 2013 Entre Nord et Sud (between North and South), and this February 15, 2019, “Par ce qu’on aime” (Because we love) an album of 12 tracks produced by Wagram. After the success of his shows in November during his residency at the Casino de Montréal, Corneille returns to his first love, the R'n'B. “Par ce qu’on aime” is a logical continuation of his first album published fifteen years ago.
In his new album, Corneille describes the world today, through texts written in collaboration with his wife, Sofia de Meideros. Corneille, Who has carved a place of choice between Montreal and Paris through Africa does not lack inspiration. His very first excerpt “Tout le Monde” (Everybody) was welcomed in the same way as his first success. With a tour that will start September the 28 th 2019, it's a safe bet that Corneille as usual will be able to shake the crowds, and touch the hearts with deep lyrics that as his first successes already begins to be hummed by the romantics of the French world, where he keeps a very good base of fans.
Born in Germany in 1977, Corneille went to live in Rwanda where his parents were from. There, Corneille was part of a group of R'n'B and won the contest "Decouverte 1993" of the Rwandan television. When the genocide seized the country in 1994, he fled to Germany. His family will not survive. Alone, he immigrated to Quebec in 1997 with his passion for music still in mind.
