Clara Ysé
Concert
11 December 2024
"In Oceano Nox, a vibrant debut album, Clara Ysé unfurls an intimate, poetic and flamboyant universe, transcending her wounds and celebrating the joy of being alive".
Ingrid Pohu, L'Humanité.
Clara Ysé is, from the outset, a voice. A voice that lifts the sand, crosses fire, pierces the night, and crosses continents of feeling like a sovereign. With Oceano Nox, her debut album combining a bold orchestration of strings, choir and brass with synthesizers and more electronic textures, Clara Ysé steps into the spotlight, at full power. She confronts her classic voice, evoking Barbara and Anne Sylvestre in turn, with a modernity that is never artificial or opportunistic, with a taste for transgressing and misleading wisdom, playing with the syncopations of reggaeton or appropriating the Greek rebetiko she loves so much. Vulnerable yet powerful, she enters the world of French chanson with the brilliance and class of a great conqueror.
