Mélodie
Performances
Little Things (One Direction):
This is the second record I made with my singing teacher. We took a commercial song so that it would be easy to sing and I would be less stressed. I also did all the second voices on this track.
Love Yourself (Justin Bieber):
When I recorded this song with my singing teacher it was the very first time that I used a microphone. So obviously I was very stressed and we can hear it. I did all the voices that you can hear, like the second voices, we recorded them after we had done the main track.
Treat You Better (Shawn Mendes):
This song is about a girl, and a boy who thinks she deserves better than her boyfriend and so this boy says he could treat her better than her boyfriend... When I sing this song I don't think like the real singer, I'm just happy to be a good boyfriend and I also watch out at my technique because the chorus is not that easy to sing.
Photograph (Ed Sheeran):
I enjoy singing love songs, because I know what it’s like to have a hearth broken, but I also know what it's like to love as if nothing else matters, so when I sing those songs I easily transmit these emotions to the listeners. When I sing this particular song I’m in a good mood, I think about my girlfriend and how much I love her, I hoped that I achieved to share these beautiful emotions with the audience in this humble performance.
Compositions
Imagination (Sébastien Nicolaï):
As the title says, this was my first written composition so I was a bit in lack of imagination… But finally I found some chords at the piano and I tried to write them down. I planned to add vocals on it but finally I didn’t.
(must be played with the tempo reduced to 80%)
You Make Me Live (Sébastien Nicolaï):
It’s been 2 or 3 months that I had this composition in my mind, so I thought it was the occasion to write it. I composed it for my girlfriend, it is not a very complicated composition I admit, but it is because I will certainly put lyrics on it.
Story Of My Life (Sébastien Nicolaï):
Again the clue is in the title, I wrote this one for my girlfriend but it was very difficult to write because when I first compose it I played it on the piano, so then to put the same notes on the piano was hard… Furthermore, this composition was only improvisation, so even if I had recorded the composition, the notes were changing all the time.
