20 Minutes invites
you to discover every day the artists who, solo, duo or trio, are involved in the competition.
This Thursday, it's time for Eve-Line Lamarca, alias LMK, 26, who hopes to have found the right formula with her song,
Magic
.
What is your musical background?
I have a rather atypical background because, at the start, I have a classic training.
I played the harp at the conservatory from when I was 5 to 18.
At the same time, I sang in my corner, I always liked it.
In high school, I was part of a small reggae dancehall group and, by necessity, I started to evolve in this environment and to professionalize myself, to live from my concerts.
I have done a lot of scenes in France and internationally, I am quite well known in this somewhat underground environment that is reggae today.
What would be the advantages of "Magique" for Eurovision?
What is undeniable is that it is a very catchy song, which gives off positive vibes.
At the moment, I think people want to forget their worries a bit and have some fun.
The fact that there is a harp mixed with a style which, on paper, has nothing to do with it, makes it atypical.
What will your performance in "Eurovision France" look like?
I am going to play the harp at the beginning, on a clean production.
And then, when the sound starts, it will be a whole different atmosphere, very "girl power", very choreographed.
If I say "Eurovision", you think of which artist?
My favorite is Netta, with
Toy
.
I like the production, the melody, what the singer embodies, her voice.
Musically, it's successful.
It's a good recipe: a
catchy
piece
but with a soul.
Beyond your participation in "Eurovision France", do you have any other news?
We can announce the release of a project, which will undoubtedly be more of an EP than an album.
I don't know yet, because I have a lot of pieces, I don't know if I put them all in or if I cut it into several projects, but anyway, something will come out in the spring.
