Hervé Le Sourd, known as Hervé (born February 19, 1991) is a French singer-songwriter, musician, and producer.
He is self-taught and draws inspiration from various musical styles: britpop, jungle, drum and bass.[1] His debut album Hyper, released in 2020, won the Male Revelation of the Year award at the Victoires de la Musique in 2021.
Youth
Hervé[2] was born in February 1991 in Saint-Cyr-l'École. He was raised by his single mother in Fontenay-le-Fleury.[3] He first dreamed of becoming a professional footballer.[3]
He grew up listening to the songs of Alain Bashung, Jacques Higelin, and the group Daft Punk.[4]
Career
2015–2018: Beginnings in the group Postaal
In 2015, Hervé began his career in the Franco-British duo Postaal with Englishman Dennis Brown.[3]
Their debut single, Freedom, helped the duo gain attention.[5]
Their first album was released in 2018, and Hervé toured with Eddy de Pretto for the opening acts of his tour to launch his solo career. That same year, in collaboration with Yodelice, he co-wrote three tracks (Pardonne-moi, Je ne suis qu'un homme, and Un enfant du siècle) for the posthumous album Mon pays c'est l'amour by Johnny Hallyday.[6]
2019–2021: Solo career and debut album Hyper
In May 2019, he released his first EP, Mélancolie F.C.
In June 2020, his first solo album Hyper was released.[7] The album is described by Télérama as "a powerful generational uppercut."[8]
In February 2021, he won the Male Revelation award at the Victoires de la Musique.[9][10]
Since 2022
In 2022, his six-month Hyper Tour was nominated for the Victoires de la Musique.
In 2023, Hervé announced the release of his second album Intérieur vie, which coincides with the birth of his first child.[11]
In 2024, Hervé released his third album, Adrénaline. Due to a manufacturing error, the album contained music from the artist Luis Fonsi instead of his own.[12]
Participation
Since 2019, he has been the patron of the association Les éveillés in support of exiles. Since November 2023, he has been the patron of the Festival ODP Talence, benefiting the orphans of French firefighters.[13]
