Background notes
Archive material and source history
Orelsan, born Aurélien Cotentin in Alençon, Normandy, started making music early but faced a significant setback in 2009. A song called 'Sale Pute' drew backlash for its lyrics, leading to a fine and suspended sentence. He didn't let that end his career, instead turning to his music to address personal growth and reconciliation, as heard in tracks like 'Jour Meilleur' and 'Soirée Ratée'.
His debut album 'Perdu d'Avance' came out in 2009, followed by others including 'Le Chant des Sirènes' in 2011, 'Le Jour J' in 2018, and 'Civilisation' in 2021.
On stage, Orelsan often performs with his brother Clément Cotentin, who handles DJ and production duties. This partnership adds a dynamic layer to his live shows, grounding his music in a collaborative, familial energy that fans connect with.
