You've been to the music festivals, how do you like music festivals in China?

Christophe Sauvaget: The youngsters are so much more excited than in France. And we've had music festivals for years now, so we've used to it, we do it all the time, so it's a normal thing for us. But in China, everything is new and everybody is excited about it, so it's really really cool to play.

How's your relationship with Nova Heart going?

Thibault Doray: We really like the way Helen sings, and she has a beautiful voice, and she's really talented and it's easy to work with her. So I knew the cooperation would go well.

What is the hardest part of cooperation?

Doray: I think it's when two worlds merge, you have to respect everyone's ego, and everyone's world, and you have to give space to everyone, and that's what we're trying to do.

Where do you get the inspiration for song writing?

Ousseynou Cisse: I get inspiration from life, from my relationships, my friends and girlfriends. I watch movies, books and poetry.
