Bonnie Banane
From her first single "Muscles" released in 2012, to her first album released at the end of 2020, via a host of singular featurings, Bonnie Banane sings her own lyrics, mischievous, absurd and sensual in her derision.
Trained in the dramatic arts, she brings theatricality to a genre whose legitimacy is constantly being questioned and which is often orphaned: French R&B.She endows each of her tracks with a singular tension between the surrealism of Brigitte Fontaine and the fever of D'Angelo. Under her pen and her warm voice, heartbreak becomes a strange epic and femininity a metaphysical enigma that is at once grotesque, beautiful and mysterious.
