Welcome to "Comme un Ouragan #2"!

Two months after the first edition, we're happy to come back. After Léa Paci, who is going to represent Monaco at NowNewMusic #16? We have selected nine possible entries (with agreement of

France). The rules of the selection are quite simple: you will be able to vote for your three favourite songs and the songs with the highest amount of votes (between two and four songs) will reach the Super Final. So let's introduce you the artists in competition:

Ajeya - Paris-Seychelles

Ajeya (means "Incivible" in Hindi - because of her

Indian roots) comes from the island of Réunion and lives in Paris. If you liked Léa Paci's entry last edition, you're probably like this cover of Julien Doré. We don't understand why this music video has been seen less than 800 times...

Clara Luciani - Monstre d'amour

Clara Luciani, 24 years old, grew up near Marseille then went to Paris when she was 19. Her song comes from her first album as a solo artist but she already got involved in a lot of musical collaborations (for example in the band La Femme or in the project Nouvelle Vague). The music video was made in Spain.

Dead Sea - Lotion

Dead Sea, quartet of turbo chillwave (electro pop, style quite similar to the band Air) is born in Paris, and its members are Caroline (singer), Julien (guitar), and two brothers: Charles (bass & synthetizer) and Alex (drums and beatbox). Probably one of the hypest songs from our selection!

Julien Doré - Coco Câline

After the cover of Ajeya, we will have two songs by Julien Doré in this selection. Like ~~often~~ always, the former winner of "Nouvelle Star" (French "Pop Idol") proposes us a very surprising music video. Dancing the moonwalk in a panda suit is just epic!

L'Algérino - Les menottes (Tching Tchang Tchong)

Samir Djoghlal aka L'Algérino was born in Marseille in 1981 from an

Algerian family. He has been discovered by Akenathon (leader of the rap band IAM) and became one of the most bankable rappers from the Marseille's "school". The plot of the song: L'Algérino is warning a friend that he fell in love with a gold digger (a "michetonneuse") and that she is going to "handcuff" him. The gorgeous model and dancer featuring in the music video is nicknamed Kenzvx - she has

roots. But beware, she's practicing taekwondo...

Leïla Huissoud - On s'connaît depuis longtemps

This 21 year old singer is coming from a little village near Grenoble. Following the advice of Luc Arbogast, former contestant of The Voice, she participated to the show in 2014. She got eliminated at the round of battles but she persevered in music. Leïla Huissoud is a charming songwriter influenced by artists like Georges Brassens or Jacques Brel but her music is quite timeless.

Lyna Mahyem - Prenons le large

Lyna Mahyem, 21 years old, comes from Argenteuil and is one of the rising stars of French RnB. Her song "Prenons le large" is ideal for summer because she encourages us to leave cloudy places for sunnier ones.

Naive New Beaters - Words hurt

Naive New Beaters (created in Paris by three ex-schoolmates: Martin Luther B.B. King, Eurobelix and David Boring - singer) are a UFO of French pop/rock. They did an amazing work for the music video. There is much more to see on this site: here: you will be able to change David Boring's life taking important decisions for him and discover many scenes (including a karaoke version of the whole song). Maybe your computer is going to slow down during the "game" but you can fix it by switching to "low res" mode.

Polo & Pan - Coeur croisé

Paul Armand-Delille aka Polocorp and Alexandre Grynszpan aka Peter Pan are two French DJ who decided to make a duet. Once again, we have a very original music video in this national final. "Coeur Croisé" litteraly means "crossed heart" but it's more likely a reference to the bra brand by Playtex.

Now it's your time to vote for your favourite songs!

We have the results of the first round! Every song received at least one vote! We have:

1 vote for Leïla Huissoud.
2 votes for Clara Luciani, Dead Sea (this one is a bit a surprise - certainly a bit too experimental...) and Lyna Mahyem
3 votes for Julien Doré and Naive New Beaters
4 votes for Ajeya, L'Algérino and Polo & Pan.

So we have three super-finalists! Now it's time to choose your favourite among them!

Ajeya - Paris-Seychelles

L'Algérino - Les menottes (Tching Tchang Tchong)

Polo & Pan - Coeur Croisé

Feel free to leave comments about the songs - they will be taken in consideration for the final choice in case of a tie - but please use spoilers for people who don't want to see them before voting!
