Grégoire's first album was produced by 347 producers, forty of whom feature in the music video of his first single, "Toi + Moi".[3] The song was subsequently played on NRJ and RTL radio stations[4] and became a hit in Belgium and Switzerland and in the French digital chart.

In 2008 Grégoire was nominated at the NRJ Music Awards in the category 'French revelation of the year'. A second single, "Rue des Étoiles", was played on the radio in November 2008 and was released in December, then a third single, "Ta Main", the video for which was shot in March 2009 with the actress Inès Sastre.[5] In September 2009 a fourth single, "Nuages", was broadcast. The music video was broadcast on television but the song was only available digitally.
