She is not the girl next door. Even if Jain looks like one at first glance in her black and white sheath dress. The Frenchwoman is an artist to be taken seriously and has a great future ahead of her.
Jain presents herself on YouTube with a surreal video.
The 24-year-old Frenchwoman would be perfect for celebrating classic pop. But she doesn't. Her sound is a mixture of folk and sometimes rhythmic chanting. Her role models are not Katy Perry and co. but indie greats such as The Dø or Christine and The Queens. It's not just teen hearts that fly to Jain, even seasoned critics lift her into the music Olympus. They call the musician "the fresh folk sensation".
From idea to song in five minutes
Jain, whose real name is Jeanne Louise Galice, is not guided by superficial feelings of heartache when writing songs. For example, when she woke up one morning, she had a rhythm in her ear. Five minutes later, the hip-hop-like track "Hope" was written.
Listen to it: Hope
It is therefore no surprise that Jain took her first musical steps on the Indian percussion instrument tabla and dreams of a collaboration with Californian rapper Kendrick Lamar.
First number one hit in France
"Come" - the name of her first hit - was written by the Frenchwoman at the age of 16. She published the song on MySpace. The French musician Yodelice discovered the young talent. Following the release of her debut album "Zanaka" in 2015, "Come", which had been floating around the internet for years, finally reached number one in the French charts. Now she will also be gracing Switzerland on her European tour this fall.
