Garou: Du Vent, Des Mots.

A new single from Canadian singer Garou, with Du Vent, Des Mots.

It's the second track to be taken from his Au Milieu de ma Ve album that was released in November last year.

The song Avancer was released as the first single from the collection, an album of original songs that comes a year after Rhythm and Blues, an album of covers.

Garou is a high-profile music figure in France at the moment due to his appearance as a judge in The Voice, (The Voice: la plus belle voix as it's called in France) which began its third season in January.

The competition was won last year by one of Garou's contestants,  Yoann Frégel.

Garou established himself in France with the track Belle, released from the musical Notre Dame de Paris in 1997. Garou was one the the three singers on the song, taking the role of Quasimodo.

It was a number one, and remains one of the biggest selling singles in France and Belgium of all time.

His debut album Seul was released in 2000, the title track giving him another number one hit single.

He would go on to have number one hits with the song Sous le vent, a duet with Celine Dion  in 2001, and with La Rivière de notre enfance, a duet with Michel Sardou in 2004.

Du vent, des mots also features the voice of Canadian singer Charlotte Cardin, a veteran of the Canadian version of The Voice.
