The voices of Angèle, Philippe Katerine and Alain Souchon resound among the nominations announced Monday for the 35th Victoires de la Musique, scheduled for February 14.
The beautiful story therefore continues for Angèle, named in three categories - "female artist", "concert" and "audiovisual creation" for "Balance ton quoi", feminist hymn illustrated by a clip or play Pierre Niney.
The young Belgian (24 years old) beat the pawn in 2019 to Johnny Hallyday by taking the lead in record sales in France, according to the classification of Snep (National Union of Phonographic Publishing). By adding physical sales - CDs, vinyls - downloads and listening on platforms, his album "Brol" reached 532,111 sales in 2019.
For the clip, she will have a lot to face the rap duo "PNL", whose video "Au DD", shot on the Eiffel Tower, had an international echo. For the live, she has a good competitor with Jeanne Added, whose solo tour "Both sides", stunning, offers an original device with the audience mirrored on either side of the stage.
Angèle is ahead of a Clara Luciani nomination, who is living a great story after the late take-off of her first album, cited for "female artist" and "original song" (with the title "Naked").
Among men, there are two of them to crush the nominations: Philippe Katerine, hurluberlu of French song and Alain Souchon, eternal dreamy dandy, present in three categories each: "male artist", "album" (respectively for "Confessions" and " Ames fifties ") and" chanson originale "(" Stone avec toi ", for the first," Almost "composed with actor Edouard Baer for the second). They are closely followed by Lomepal named in the categories "male artist" and "album" ("Jeanine").
