Tiff Barrow reveals how her new album 'Dream A' captures the turbulent dream of motherhood and identity upheaval.
The episode features an interview with Belgian singer Tiff Barrow on the morning show bel RTL - 7H40, hosted by Martin Buxant. Barrow is promoting her new album 'Dream A', which releases today. She explains that the album title combines 'Dream' and 'Drama', reflecting the two years she spent creating it while experiencing the ups and downs of motherhood. Barrow clarifies that only two of the album's thirteen tracks directly address maternity, with others exploring deeper themes. She discusses a special Belle RTL studio broadcast recorded with a hundred listeners, set to air tomorrow at 9 AM, where she performed acoustic versions and answered fan questions. Barrow describes the album's central message as an 'ode to the present moment', acknowledging her own tendency to be nostalgic or rush through life. She shares her concert schedule, including dates at the Liège Forum, Théâtre Royal de Mons, and Cirque Royal in Brussels, with some shows already sold out. Barrow expresses her strong preference for live performance over studio work, tracing her career beginnings to piano bars at age 14. The host inquires about Barrow's interest in extreme sports like skydiving and go-karting, leading her to reveal she obtained a pilot's certificate during COVID but has since moderated her activities after breaking her shoulder on Fort Boyard. A lighthearted anecdote follows about Barrow disguising as Santa Claus with sunglasses at a friend's costume party, fooling guests for three hours. The interview touches on her recent appearance on Europe 1 in France and a planned concert in Paris on April 28th, though she emphasizes focusing on her English-language album first. The episode wraps up with Barrow sending greetings to Sandrine, who is closing a chapter today.
