Louane

Louane Emera first caught attention in 2013 as a finalist on the French version of 'The Voice.' Her debut single 'Jour 1' came out the following year and went to number one in France. That early success led to her self-titled debut album in 2015, which also debuted at the top of the charts. A song from that album, 'Secret,' became a major hit and has accumulated hundreds of millions of views online.

Her music often leans into pop with emotional, direct lyrics. Songs like 'Aimer À Mort' and 'Je Vole' show her style, clear vocals over straightforward arrangements. 'Je Vole' was also featured in the film 'Polisse' and won a César Award for Best Original Song. She has released a few albums since, including another self-titled one in 2017 and 'Joie de vivre' in 2020.

Louane has collaborated with other artists at times, like on the track 'It Won't Kill Ya' with The Chainsmokers. She's been open about facing public scrutiny early in her career, including a paparazzi incident in 2014. In 2018, her participation in a concert fundraiser for the Yellow Vest movement drew mixed reactions. She continues to record and perform, working with various producers and songwriters as a solo artist.
