Anorld Turboust is a French singer-songwriter who started his artistic career at the age of 21 by participating in the production of the album "Dantzig twist" by the group Marquis de Sade. We are then in 1980.
Some time later he made a stealthy stint in the October group. Then in 1981 he formed the group Private Jokes with which he enjoyed great esteem in the great West of France.
But it is above all the meeting with a certain… Etienne Daho that will change the situation. A meeting which will be the starting point of a particularly fruitful collaboration between the two men from 1984 and which will allow the production of numerous albums such as "La notte, la notte", "Pop satori" and "Pour nos vies Martiennes”.
The real consecration for Turboust came in 1986 when he decided to stand on his own feet by releasing the Single "Adélaïde". Single that he performed in duet with Zabou (Breitman) and which was going to be a real hit. The singer's notoriety literally explodes overnight.
A year later in 1987 the Single "Les envahisseurs" was released, but the success of the latter had nothing to do with the colossal success of "Adelaide". The album "Let’s go à Goa" was released in the process and produced two new Singles, "Francine song" and "Margarita". Singles that will not be more successful.
This will not prevent him from coming back later with several albums of more than certain quality but which will go somewhat unnoticed for lack of media exposure worthy of the name.

Tracks :
1986 ... THE title of a lifetime ! This single title was enough to bring the artist into the musical legend of the 80s on the French side. A HUGE Dance title, wacky at will and which will undoubtedly remain as one of the most emblematic titles of the decade...
1987 ... like a shooting star, the artist will have crossed the French musical landscape at the speed of light. A second title that will go almost unnoticed. Too bad but show biz is like that...ruthless and ungrateful !
1988 ... the adventure continues for some reason but it is clear that the singer will never come back in contact with the best. Hard law of the trade ...
1988 ... and yet he was not lacking in talent. But talent, unfortunately, is not everything. The proof with this last title which rhymes unfortunately with end of the adventure ...
1994 ... he will attempt an improbable comeback the following decade but what did not work at the end of the 80s is not likely to work in this 90s unfortunately ...
1994 ... this title will not do better. The singer will only be figuring during this decade and will never come to the surface ...
1994...but the adventure is far, far from over because he will continue to believe in it. And given what he continues to propose he is absolutely right...
1994...what is impressive about him is his level of inspiration which remains constant despite the weight of the years. Certainly he will never find the success achieved on 'Adelaide' but it does not matter, the important thing is to believe in it as they say...
2007... when we thought we would never see him again, here he is back in the middle of the 2000s in an unexpected way to say the least. To do what, good question...
2007... first of all, it's the basic fans who will be delighted with this unexpected return, but in addition he comes back with new titles of more than certain quality in its basket. It was so damn worth it to come back...
2007...well, on the other hand, it's clear that he doesn't really stick to the latest musical trends of the moment. Which can only penalize him on the potential audience side...
2010...we would have liked him to get out of his comfort zone and take more risks in terms of composition. But it's a waste of time at first sight...
2010...after that, we will be satisfied with what he now offers. But what is unfortunate is that he could have radiated more widely but he will not have dared - or been able - to do what was necessary to get a rejuvenated audience...
2010... what you have to remember from all this is that he is still there, which is not the case for a bunch of colleagues who started at the same time as him. Just for that, respect as they say...
2010... with each title we say to ourselves that it will surely be the last and each time he comes back and surprises us with the quality of what he brings with him. A talent that would have deserved a much higher notoriety than it was, that's for sure...
2016...and here he is again ! He won't give up until the end and it doesn't matter whether there is success or not, the main thing is that he takes pleasure in what he does every time...
2016...we still have to remember that he started his career in 1986 and that he is still there 30 years later, a longevity that undoubtedly commands respect. And it's far from over...
2016...a nice title full of finesse that literally floats in the air and just waiting to be appreciated at its fair value. What we must do...
2016... he just would have had to manage to mix old and new influences, which could have been a real game-changer. Transition to which he will not have succeeded in tackling …
2016...now remains to be seen whether he will have the courage to return the following decade. But we now know with him, nothing is ever over !
2022...and here he is again as planned, all through a subtle tribute to our favorite Jean-Paul ! The basic fans exult and await the sequel with impatience, that's for sure !
