Avec Backstage, Jay-Jay sort déjà son 15e album, et son inspiration est sans cesse renouvelée. On y retrouve les éléments fondamentaux de son univers musical : jazz, triphop, pop et même une touche d’Easy Listening.
Le premier single, l’envoûtant How Long Do You Think We’re Gonna Last?, impose un délicieux son soul, quelque peu inédit dans les 14 premiers albums de Jay-Jay. Co-composé avec son complice de longue date Erik Jansson, grand fan de Marvin Gaye, ce morceau aux accords monotones a inspiré Jay-Jay à explorer des sonorités inédites. 
Sur Backstage, pour la première fois dans sa discographie, Jay-Jay chante un morceau entièrement en français, dédié à Rimbaud. Les paroles sont de l’écrivain français Renaud Santa Maria. En hommage innocent et non prémédité à David Lynch, Jay-Jay a récemment invité l’acteur Harry Goaz (Twin Peaks) à retravailler Trompe L’oeil, le titre d’ouverture de l’album, dont plusieurs versions sortiront sous forme d’EP au cours de l’été. Déjà présent sur plusieurs titres de sa discographie, Jay-Jay invite sa femme Laura Delicata sur l’entraînant Glue, un titre dont l’étrangeté progressive s’achève sur une coda house. 
Enfin, Jay-Jay livre une version personnelle de Lujon, la chanson culte du 100e anniversaire de son compositeur Henry Mancini. Enregistré à Stockholm durant l’hiver 2024, l’album a été masterisé à Paris par Alex Gopher (Air, Phoenix, Bob Sinclar…). La pochette de Backstage a été prise dans les coulisses d’un concert à Londres en 2024. Après Kings Cross en 2019, contenant l’un de ses plus grands succès à ce jour, Heard Somebody Whistle, c’est la deuxième fois que les liens qui unissent Jay-Jay et la capitale britannique s’expriment sur le visuel de l’un de ses albums.

With Backstage, Jay-Jay has already released his 15th album, and his inspiration is constantly renewed. Here we find the fundamental elements of his musical universe: jazz, triphop, pop and even a touch of Easy Listening. 
The first single, the soaring How Long Do You Think We’re Gonna Last?, imposes a delicious soul sound, somewhat unheard of in Jay-Jay’s first 14 albums. Co-composed with his long-time accomplice Erik Jansson, a great fan of Marvin Gaye, this track with its monotonous chords inspired Jay-Jay to explore sounds that had never been explored before. 
On Backstage, for the first time in his discography, Jay-Jay sings a track entirely in French, dedicated to Rimbaud. The lyrics are by French writer Renaud Santa Maria. As an innocent and unpremeditated tribute to David Lynch, Jay-Jay recently invited actor Harry Goaz (Twin Peaks) to work on a rework of Trompe L’oeil, the opening track on the album, several versions of which will be released as spin-off EP around the summer. Already present on several tracks in his discography, Jay-Jay invites his wife Laura Delicata on the lively Glue, a track whose progressive strangeness
ends on a house music coda. 
Finally, Jay-Jay delivers a personal version of Lujon, the cult song from the 100th birthday of its composer Henry Mancini. Recorded in Stockholm during the winter of 2024, the album was mastered in Paris by Alex Gopher (Air, Phoenix, Bob Sinclar…). The cover of ‘Backstage’ was appropriately shot backstage at a concert in London in 2024. After Kings Cross in 2019, containing one of his biggest hits to date, Heard Somebody Whistle, this is the second time that the links that unite Jay-Jay and the British capital have been expressed on the visual of one of his albums.
