Editor's note

Chimène Badi, a French voice from Popstars

A singer who emerged from a TV competition and built a catalog of soulful French pop.

For a sense of her range, 'Plus de Devoirs Que de Droits' and 'Frôlé L'Amour' frame it well. They're both from her catalog, straightforward and lived-in.

She won 'Popstars' in 2002 with a version of Aretha Franklin's 'Respect,' which landed her a deal with Universal. Songs like 'Plus de Devoirs Que de Droits' anchor her later work, a mix of pop and soul that feels grounded. That early TV moment gave her a platform, but the albums that followed have their own weight.

Her debut album 'Entre Nous' came out in 2003, with the title track and 'Je Viens du Sud.' She kept putting out records through the 2000s and 2010s, like 'Dis-Moi Que Tu M'Aimes' in 2006 and 'Gospel & Soul' in 2012. There was a lawsuit against a former manager in 2005 that caused some public friction.
