It's

, by Ana Ford, a mixture of gentleness and violence, and the first single from a multifaceted artist.

Musician, dancer, actress, the native of Geneva grew up with a mother "who listened to everything, Mendelssohn, Oum Kalthoum, Edith Piaf, The Scorpions, Aretha Franklin".

She takes her to the Geneva technoparades every year, until Ana Ford begins to write herself, at the age of 18.

“I needed to let off steam, to question, to provoke, to take pleasure and to feel alive,” she says.

"If I smile at you, it doesn't mean that I give you my consent"

The artist distinguished himself by winning an improv rap competition in Montreux, and an open mic in Paris, the One One, did a few opening acts, set up a collective with two friends, toured a bit, then their paths separated.

"It's too easy to open your mouth on the pretext that you have a tongue and that you have the right to use it to say what you want, even if it means hurting people, just for the pleasure of listen to each other talk, comments the young artist for
