Album information

The album, whose all musics were composed by Calogero himself, was written by several famous artists, such as Lionel Florence (who had already worked with Pascal Obispo, Patricia Kaas and Nolwenn Leroy), Zazie, Raphael and Calogero's brother, Gioacchino. Amond the tracks it contains, there are R&B songs, including a duet with Passi on "Face à la mer", the most successful singles from this album. The single "Si seulement je pouvais lui manquer" is dedicated to Calogero's father, and the last track, "La Bienvenue", is a tribute his daughter who was born a few time before.

The album was charted for two years in France and Belgium (Wallonia), topping their chart, and achieved success in Switzerland, and hitting Platinum certifications in these countries.

"3" was released as a CD, but there was also a collector edition composing of a CD and a DVD in which there is an interview of Calogero. There were three singles from this album, but "Yalla" was just a promotional single, while the two others were top ten hits in France and Belgium (Wallonia).
