Zaho de Sagazan, the new sensation of French music, is an artist who has conquered the public and critics with her first album “La Symphonie des éclairs”. The 23-year-old singer is the daughter of visual artist Olivier de Sagazan.
Zaho de Sagazan caused a sensation last year on the stage of the Fête de la Musique of the Ministry of Culture. Since then, she has continued to impress music critics and the public with her first album “La Symphonie des éclairs” released on March 31. At only 23 years old, she brilliantly combines classic French song and electronic music. In an interview with Le Figaro on April 17, she admits to not being intoxicated by success: “I think my brain stays calm, it’s a bit of a snob to protect me. My friends and my family realize a lot more than what happens to me.”
The sensitive subject addressed in his song “Les Dormantes” did not leave anyone indifferent. She speaks proudly of the impact of her music: “People tell me I’ve put words to situations they can’t put into words. A 70-year-old woman told me that the song l brought back to a story she had experienced at age 25. I believe in the power of words and the fact that a song can create awareness.”
Daughter of visual artist Olivier de Sagazan, Zaho drew on her father’s great creative freedom. “My father helped me a lot. He never set limits in his art. For example, I was advised not to open the album with “La Fontaine de sang”, a complicated song, not at all pop. But I’m not here to hold people’s hands,” she said.
The lyrics of the album revolve around the feeling of love, treated with impressive maturity: “It’s because I haven’t known love: I just observe it. So I’m not mistaken in love and I don’t forget about it. I observe it and I see others making mistakes. I haven’t experienced romantic love yet, but I have great friendships.”
