His first release since leaving R&B trio O.N.E. in 2001,
Parce Qu'on Vient de Loin is the highly personal debut album from French-language vocalist
Corneille. Based on his tragic real-life experiences of the 1994 genocide in his native Rwanda, which saw his family killed and led to him fleeing to Germany, its 14 self-produced tracks include the singles "Seul au Monde," "Avec Classe," "Ensemble," "Reves de Star," and the title track. A bonus edition featuring previously unreleased songs, acoustic remixes, and video clips was also later released.
