French singer Marc Lavoine released his new sixteen-track album on Friday, November 6, featuring four brand-new songs and numerous duets with established artists. Notably absent from the tracklist is his partner, Adriana Karembeu, with whom he has been in a relationship since 2024.
Marc Lavoine Releases New Sixteen-Track Album Without Partner Collaboration
- Marc Lavoine’s new sixteen-track album arrived on Friday, November 6, featuring four brand-new songs and multiple guest collaborations.
- Adriana Karembeu does not feature on any tracks, as the singer prefers to keep his professional and romantic lives completely separate.
- Despite the lack of a musical collaboration, Lavoine dedicated one of the album’s new tracks directly to his partner while keeping the specific song a secret.
Marc Lavoine Explains Why He Refuses to Sing With Adriana Karembeu
The absence of Adriana Karembeu on the new album caught the attention of fans who have followed the couple’s heavily covered romance since they first came together in 2024. While the record includes contributions from several prominent voices on the French music scene, Lavoine chose not to invite his partner to share the microphone.
Explaining his decision to Ciné Télé Revue, the musician stated, “You know, we each have our own work, we each have our own life, and that’s very well as it is.” For Lavoine, drawing a firm line between his personal relationships and his recording career remains an essential boundary.
Guest Artists on the New Album
While Karembeu does not appear on the project titled Chères amies, chers amis, the record brings together blood family and chosen family alongside various well-known French music figures. Artists including Louane, Kendji Girac, Clara Luciani, Barbara Pravi and Philippe Katerine accepted invitations to share the microphone with the performer of Les Yeux revolver

A Secret Musical Dedication Replaces the Duet
Although the couple will not be releasing a vocal collaboration, Karembeu is far from absent from the project. Lavoine decided to honor her by dedicating one of the album’s four brand-new compositions specifically to her.

Rather than pointing directly to the track, the artist prefers to maintain an air of mystery. “It’s not very important to know which of the songs it is,” Lavoine remarked, choosing to let the audience interpret the record independently. He did, however, add that the piece is “one of those that I like very much” and noted that listening to it “brings me a lot of happiness.”
Television Host Emphasizes Strength of Maintaining Individual Autonomy
This deliberate choice to protect their private lives aligns closely with Karembeu’s own perspective on relationships. Speaking previously to Télé-Loisirs, the television host emphasized the strength of maintaining individual autonomy within a partnership.
“In a peaceful love, when you meet it, you know how good it does because you stay whole, you don’t diminish yourself, you defend your own space,” Karembeu explained to the publication, highlighting a shared philosophy where personal freedom takes precedence over constant public collaboration.

By keeping their respective careers entirely independent while exchanging private tributes through their art, the couple continues to manage their public relationship on their own terms.
