On May 16, Amel Bent will unveil her new album Midnight one. An opus which allowed her to overcome the death of her grandmother, at the end of 2023, as the singer confided to Mouloud Achour, this Tuesday, March 18, in Click on Canal +.
She's my grandmother, she passed away on November 24, 2023. I was in the studio that evening, and the day before too, those were the first two studio sessions for the album....After that I didn't sing at all for a year....I returned to my work, especially for her, because I had a lot to say, because her departure left a great void that needed to be filled, and I filled it in the light of everything she left me." “This album is intimately linked to my grief, so it’s for her that I’m crying a lot right now.”
