Renaud has become the latest French performer to have his work re-interpreted by a new generation of artists on an album.
The singer might not have released an album since 2009's Molly Malone, but the new La bande à Renaud collection sees singers like Nolwenn Leroy, Coeur de Pirate and Raphaël and Carla Bruni pay tribute by covering his songs.
Renaud is a French artist who achieved a certain amount of notorierty in the UK in the 1980s with his song Miss Maggie, concerning Margaret Thatcher who was then at the peak of her powers.
His most recent release was a complete collection box set in 2012.
In previous years, the Génération Goldman collections showcasing the work of Jean-Jacques Goldman were among the biggest selling albums in France, both topping the charts in France.
Obviously there are hopes that the same kind of success will come to this new collection. The strength of Renaud's material will go some way to make that a certainty.
