"I tell what I live in the world in which I live", she explains to the microphone Europe 1 of Anne Roumanoff, Monday, oscillating between lucidity in front of the current situation and hope for a better world.

"I like to put markers"

In

Toï Toï II

"We live in a somewhat rough world," says the native of Avignon, now 30 years old.

"We are still in a generation where there is a lot going on."

"I'm not saying that I only describe the dark of our society, but I also like to put markers", continues the artist, nominated in the category Female artist of the year at the next Victoires de la musique.

"Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel or Barbara also spoke of their time. Me, that time is mine. There are crises all the time. Harassment, the condition of women, homophobia ... are things that speak to me. "

For someone who left a job as a waitress in a restaurant in Montpellier in 2014 to try her luck in Paris, the fight against homophobia is also one of the struggles to be carried through music.

As evidenced by his title P'tit Gars: "Imagine the prodigy son is a homo / They all look at you as unknown / Stuck there in the living room /" So it's you who plays the girl or the boy? "/ You are embarrassed, you caught in your mother's eyes / That she wonders what she could have missed to make a queer son. "

"It was hard for me to write, this song, because I knew it was important", relates the singer, moved, on Europe 1. "I knew that for this little guy who was going to listen to me, I had to be as powerful as the pain he can feel when he is alone. "

A gloomy observation, but no pessimism for all that, despite a period more conducive than ever to discouragement: "It's a hope, the world after. Are we going to stick together for a better world? We can do it, ”she believes.
