In March 2020, the sudden halt of his shows with the National Ballet of Marseille and the dance collective (La) Horde at the Châtelet Theatre Paris left a void that prompted Rone to invite a few of his friends to sing along to his music. From these life-saving collaborations, a musical refuge was born, an essential Rone album to be released this spring.

The first single from Rone & Friends is a romance dreamed up by the English singer Georgia, based on the instrumental of « Ginkgo Biloba ». The sequels were written with Yael Naim, Flavien Berger, Dominique A and many others — a total of 16 performers from all walks of life for 12 titles.

This adventure has been illustrated by Corinne Rey aka “Coco” (Charlie Hebdo, Les Inrockuptibles…), who designed à cover and a collection of unpublished drawings to be discovered together with the music.
