"J'attends - Ben Mazué & Pomme" has been shared to the blog from the French reading practice section of the learning library where you can find a large selection of interactive texts to help you with your reading skills.
Ben Mazué thinks of himself as a storyteller as well as a singer. And indeed, his beautifully crafted texts offer musical slices of life full of simplicity and sincerity. In J’attends (2018), he tells of the doubts that can arise in a long-term relationship, his sensitive uncertainty echoed by his duet partner Pomme.
