ZINÉE - L'AFFRANCHI

ZINÉE for the first time at L'Affranchi (Marseille). Following the success of her 2024 album OSMIN, singer and rapper Zinée once again showcases her quiet artistic strength in a new EP titled BIL, a symbol of a beneficial rebirth and change of course. Across seven tracks imbued with the humanity that defines her, she wipes the slate clean, sheds the weights that sometimes held back her creative drive, and frees herself, both musically and personally. To perfect BIL, Zinée surrounded herself with a small, supportive team of three musicians who are as talented as they are her friends. There is Canadian pianist and jack-of-all-trades Chilly Gonzales, multi-platinum beatmaker Freaky Joe (SCH, Djadja & Dinaz, SDM, Kekra…), and producer Empty7, known for his solo projects and work with rapper Django. Out of this emulation "without pressure, misplaced ego, or negativity" emerged a music oscillating between darkness and sunlit sounds, between memories and an irresistible urge to press on no matter what. Zinée deftly navigates obstacles, plunging back into childhood and nostalgia to draw inspiration, of course, but also that quest for happiness that drives her.
