It is a true gift that Pierre Garnier did to his fans this Friday 23 February. The young singer from Villedieu-les-Poeles, in the Channel, unveiled the acoustic version from his hit “Those we were“, taken from his first solo album.
A dazzling success
Upon its release, the original title experienced a dazzling success. In just a few days, it was listened to more than 10 millions of times on streaming platforms and reached the first place in the ranking of the most listened to singles in France. A real feat for the young Norman, who won the 11th season of Star Academy last December.
An expected acoustic version
Many fans regretted the difference in sound between the guitar-vocal interpretation made by Pierre during the Star Academy final and studio version to the more pop arrangement on the piano. This is why the young singer had promised to offer them a acoustic version closer to the raw emotion of the song.
A return to basics
This is done with this new version, which highlights the soft and powerful voice of Pierre Garnier and the simple beauty of the melody. A return to his roots for the singer, who has always been passionate about music folk and acoustic.
