Watch ORELSAN: non mostrare mai questo a nessuno

Orel has never been so late in the making of an album. And the band can't even figure out which song to use for a comeback. Ablaye, Skread, Orel, the kings of strategy, are rather lost. When Gringe reappears at the studio for the first time since the recording of the soundtrack for the Casseurs Flowters film, there's no way to tell if they have lost the magic or not.

The operation is about to be sparked off, but a few days before the video clip comes out, a photo with a fan leaks out on the social networks. Orel doesn't look great and rumors are quick to spread: Orelsan might be old and out of it. There's no time to linger on that. When a computer wizard friend successfully recovers his notes, Orel manages to finish another song. He's got three months left to complete the album. It

Among Orel's rather crazy demos, Ablaye and Skread will have to exert their flair as producers to dig out the hidden gems that the album could be based on.
