Album information
After a small success of the previous album, Au Milieu des autres, Calogero decided to release a new album, with an eponymous title. For this album, Calogero composed almost all the music, while famous artists in France wrote the lyrics. Françoise Hardy, Lionel Florence and Gioacchino, Calogero's brother, participated in the writing of at least one song. A hidden track is also available after the 11th song, "L'Européen".
The album had a very long chart trajectory in the French and Belgian (Wallonia) albums charts. Indeed, the success of the next album, 3, made Calogero able to remain for respectively 104 and 94 weeks on the charts. In Belgium the album hit #2 in its second week, but in France, it reached its peak position, #3, almost two years after its release.
In France, four singles were released from this album ; however, only the second one, "En Apesanteur", had success, peaking at #13 for two weeks on the French Singles Chart and hitting Gold status. The three other singles achieved a minor success : "Aussi libre que moi" reached #35, "Tien an Men" #43, and "Prendre racine" #39.
The CD was re-issued in 2003 with a second CD containing five tracks.
