Marc Lavoine, the celebrated French singer with a career spanning more than four decades, has unveiled his latest musical project, an album titled *Chères amies, chers amis* (Dear Friends, Dear Amies). Released on Friday, November 6, 2026, the record serves as a significant platform for the artist, blending cover versions with original compositions co-written and co-composed with numerous fellow artists. In a move that highlights both his professional collaborations and personal life, Lavoine uses the album to express his deep affection for Adriana Karembeu, with whom he has been in a relationship since 2024. Central to the narrative of the album is a love song dedicated specifically to Karembeu. The track, titled *À cœur perdu* (Lost Heart), occupies the fourth position on the album's running order. Described as a piece meant for dancing, it features a collaboration with musician Philippe Katerine, who joins Lavoine on the recording after their successful partnership on previous projects. Lavoine revealed the existence and identity of the song during an interview with *Télé 7 Jours* on Monday, November 9, 2026, but carefully clarified the origin of the public announcement regarding the track. He stated, 'I specify that it wasn't me who revealed the info. It's Adriana,' attributing the initial leak of the secret dedication to Karembeu herself, who had previously mentioned in interviews that a special song for him was included in his new work. Philippe Katerine, currently in a relationship with actress Julie Depardieu, has become a frequent collaborator for Lavoine, appearing prominently on *Chères amies, chers amis*. The two artists performed two songs together on the album, marking Katerine as a constant presence in this new musical chapter. Lavoine expressed profound admiration for his partner in crime, describing him as 'prodigiously poetic.' Regarding Katerine's involvement in *À cœur perdu*, Lavoine noted that the musician approached the composition with delicacy, finding words that resonated personally with the singer's experience. When asked if the duo might perform the track together live on stage, Lavoine firmly declined the possibility, drawing a strict line between his private life and his professional career, stating there would be no mixing of the two spheres despite the romantic nature of the song.
