Rêves is a posthumous compilation recorded by French singer Grégory Lemarchal. It was released in November 2009 and contains all his previous singles and some cover versions of various artists, including Céline Dion and Daniel Balavoine, and two unpublished songs, the first two tracks of the album (although Olivier Ottin, the former manager of the singer, had earlier said in an interview with the Nouvel Observateur that the album would be fully composed of unpublished songs). "Je rêve" is also the first song written by Lemarchal.[1]
