Gun eyes, 1m60 of energy and groove, a singular tone with nu-soul inflections and luminous melancholy, here is a pearl from Flemish Belgium: Selah Sue!
Propelled to the front of the stage at 19 with the global success of the title
Raggamuffin
(2008), Selah Sue delivers two albums in 2011 and 2015, remixes, then nothing.
Until last summer when, charged with a new energy, Selah Sue returned to us with a 5 titles recorded at home and dedicated to her sons.
Bedroom
is the name of this EP and it's also the place where I met Selah Sue.
And yes, it was in the room of his tour bus last October, in Marseille, a few hours before his flamboyant concert, at the Fiesta des Suds.
The result: a conversation in complete privacy and in 3D audio.
A podcast to listen to with headphones in which, with naturalness and irresistible enthusiasm, Selah Sue talks about her relationship with the French language, her first great love (the one that gave her a taste for dubstep), her "meeting" with Lauryn Hill , her concert opening for Prince, her crazy collaborations (from CeeLo Green to Marcus Miller via Childish Gambino), her upcoming 3rd album, or even her life as a woman and young mother who now makes
"the music that she always wanted to do"
.
