Ich will die Leute nicht belehren – Jain im Interview – MusikBlog

Jeanne Louise Galice, besser bekannt als Jain, verbrachte den Großteil ihrer Jugend im Ausland, da ihr Vater in der Ölindustrie arbeitete und deshalb oft

[TRANSLATED] Jeanne Louise Galice, better known as Jain , spent most of her youth abroad, as her father worked in the oil industry and therefore had to move often. In November 2015, the French singer released her debut album “Zanaka”, which means “child” in Malagasy and is a homage to her mother, of French-Malagasy origin.

Three years after the first work, his successor is now published with ” Souldier “. Recorded in Paris and produced by Maxim Nucci, various influences also appear on the upcoming record. Why the different rhythms are as important as the music helps her through difficult times and why she is skeptical of social media, told us the 26-year-old singer in the MusikBlog interview.

MusikBlog: Most of your youth has been spent exploring new cultures. How did time remain for the music during the whole processions?

Jeanne Louise: I have always been a big fan of music. Already at the age of 4-5 I started to listen to music, then to play the drums at the age of 6 and in general there was a lot of time dedicated to music in my family and in my circle of friends.

In the time that you speak about, music has taken on a completely different role for me. I had a hard time finding myself, discovering myself as a new person. By moving from country to country, I had to leave my friends behind and make new friends every time. I had to change my home again and again. Although it was a great time from the outside, it was hard for me.

MusikBlog: And the music helped?

Jeanne Louise: Exactly. I needed something that followed me at every turn. In the music I found my constant, a place where I could always feel secure. I could feel at home anytime, anywhere, I just had to make music.

The Limiñanas – “Angels & Devils”, “The Gift” – live session

The Limiñanas bring a little Catalan sun on the Malouine coasts. Between French chanson and influences underground garage, The Limiñanas deploys in each of its titles a very cinematographic universe, of the road movie with the echoes of Cinecittà.

Jain releases “Souldier”, her second pop world album

She swapped her black dress with Peter Pan collar blue worker combination, but his pop-world hits continue to conquer the world: Jain released Friday his second album “Souldier” for which she feels “still a lot of pressure”.

For artists who hit hard in the first opus, the second is usually the one of all dangers: less pleasing, less surprising, less sell … Dangers necessarily proportional to the high expectations of the record company, the media, the public.

Jain , whose meteoric trajectory has come close to the stars of international pop in just two years, with the hits “Come” and “Makeba” from the album “Zanaka” (2015), is aware of this.

“I see the wait in the eyes of people, that’s why having resumed the concerts this summer was good for me, it gave me some certainty for some new live titles,” admits Jain. , Jeanne Galice in the civil.

Shame slayed La Route du Rock Festival in France 

The French fort at Saint Malo saw post-punk’s Shame play a blistering set on the second stage at La Route du Rock Festival last night (17 August).

Largely taking place across two stages at Le Fort de Saint-Père fort in Saint-Malo, La Route du Rock also features a beach stage by the walled city seafront, and an opening party at the festival’s year-round live venue La Nouvelle Vague.The festival almost completely eliminates choice, giving the crowd a non-stop 6pm-4am programme that alternates one act at a time between the main and second stage. It’s a confident, and completely justified, statement about the organisers’ taste – and it’s worked for more than 25 years.So entering the stage to the fairground blasts of The Vengaboys’ ‘We Like to Party’ was about the most rebellious thing Shame could have done, bringing the remnants of a tasteless time to a festival that prides itself on its timeless taste. Tops came off and mic stands became accessories as they gave their all through a charged set that touched on highlights ‘The Lick’ and ‘One Rizla’ from debut album Songs of Praise, as well as some equally savvy and spiteful brand new material.The crowd lapped up every minute of a set that had none of the refinement, restraint or mystery provided by the rest of the day’s bill – one that included the relatively low key Grizzly Bear, Brian Jonestown Massacre, and The Limiñanas. By the time the band had finished, even the crowd had broken a sweat for the first time today.For their part, The Limiñanas turned their lo-fi recordings into an outstanding rich and layered performance, with a line-up of guest musicians joining founding members Lionel and Marie to open the main stage. It was the perfect smokey soundtrack to see off the last of the sunshine.But the surprise of the night for visitors was the reception for French legend Étienne Daho, well known to the local crowd thanks to a massive pop career spanning more than 30 years. All the 20-somethings on the front row swapped places with their parents to watch Étienne channeling Depeche Mode, backed by a buff band, dry ice and futuristic mood lighting. Finally, Chilean band Föllakzoid closed up, churning out dark and chugging Krautrock until 4am for all those still standing.La Route du Rock continues today. Check their website here for details.
