RELEASE DATE

The new Chanson generation, re-modernized and reshaped! A new generation of artists is born to shake up the French pop scene. It isn't without reason that the
Le Pop 9
compilation is subtitled
Au Début
: 16 new French artists, none of which have ever appeared on a
Le Pop
compilation before, hereby introduce themselves. The modern sound of the current French pop scene allows for its listeners to rediscover the creativity of chanson-pop in all its different facets. The 2018 generation is influenced by electronic sounds and production styles deriving from R&B and hip-hop. The two brains behind
Polo & Pan
are DJs,
Hollydays
' singer is a
Rihanna
fan whilst her partner prefers
Amon Tobin
and
Aphex Twin
. Whoever sees the high achieving
Angèle
on stage will be perplexed by her dance moves -- until one finds out her brother is the famous Belgian rapper
Roméo Elvis
. And there's more:
Ezéchiel Pailhès
first appeared in electronic duo
Nôze
whilst the George Moustaki prize winner
Laurie Darmon
drifts from chanson into speech song and stands beside a human beatbox performer on stage.
La Femme
, awarded twice by the Victoire de la musique, showcases their Francophone indie pop with four keyboards on the stage. No trace of guitar rock nostalgia of the old times. And in "Poésies" the singer
Chaton
's voice is made foreign through autotune effects, so that the song becomes a subtle reminiscence of modern dancehall. In comparison to the cool naturalness of
Flavien Berger
, arguably the central figure of the new scene, many bands aiming for international success with their average English are made to look like wannabe hipsters. The wealth of ideas hidden behind
Ali Danel
, who for instance reinterprets a
Paul Éluard
poem onto an Afro-beat backdrop, seem in line with a contemporary re-appropriation of
Gainsbourg
's "Percussions" principle -- without making it sound a little out of date. But the special thing about it all is that, in its very essence, the music remains chanson. The language and words define the genre, with voices central to the production and melodies remaining frameworks in which the songs are structured. And so,
Le Pop 9: Au Début
is simply another piece of evidence of the vitality and vibrancy of a genre that is being constantly renewed musically amidst changing frameworks and thus remaining perpetually fascinating. Also features
Pomme
,
Eddy Crampes
,
Alexia Gredy
,
Adrien Soleiman
,
Achille
, and
Gérald Kurdian
.
