Qui de nous deux

This article is about the 2003 album by -M-. For the 1989 song by Frédéric François, see Frédéric François § Discography.

Qui de nous deux ? (2003) is an album by French singer-songwriter Matthieu Chedid in his persona as M. It is his third full studio album, or the fourth if including the instrumental work Labo M which he had released earlier the same year. The title of the album and its best known track means 'Which of Us Two' reflecting the ongoing contrast between Chedid's real persona and that of his invented character M.^[2] The album's liner notes explain that the love discussed in that song are for the pink guitar that features on both the album cover and the surreal music video that accompanied the song.^[3] The pink guitar had been specially created to celebrate the birth of Chedid's daughter Billie in 2002.^[4]
