It is a project that nobody saw happen.
After having shared at the same time the enigmatic message "Fuck who?
"On their social networks, Amel Bent, Vitaa and Camélia Jordana unveiled this Friday April 2" Marine ", the cover of the famous song of Diam's (from which the sentence is extracted) released in 2004. A delivery with a surprise announcement: the three artists (whose careers are managed by the same team, that of the company Indifférence Prod, a structure behind Gims, Dadju and Slimane), release a joint album, "Sorore" on June 4, at the Universal label Capitol.
And the least we can say is that choosing a piece against Marine Le Pen as an appetizer has made a lot of talk.
Small point of the context: the original song was written by Diam's when the heiress of Jean-Marie Le Pen had just been appointed vice-president of the FN.
The words, frank, speak for themselves, written with the pen of the rapper, without effect of style and deeply political.
Among the verses: "We will never be friends, because my mother is French but I was not born here", "We come from the four corners of the world, but for you we are too", "You made the same bullshit as him
(his father, Editor's note)
, to think that white does not mix with others ”.
"Blow of buzz or demand"?
Such a revival, fifteen years later (with some modifications), has been widely debated on social media.
And for many reasons.
First by the personality of Camélia Jordana, whose speeches (on police violence, "white men" ...) regularly arouse controversy and draw the wrath of the fascosphere.
The title, necessarily political, only accentuated the reactions, leaving music in second place in the debate.
The title thus caused a reaction on the side of the National Rally.
"This song is quite pretty, too bad it is built on a prejudice: no, the RN is not racist," said Gilles Lebreton, a MEP from the Identity and Democracy group (in which the elected RNs sit). in a tweet.
"If Marine passes, will you break up?"

In a video seen more than 19,000 times, Youtubeur Just Tsharly wonders: "I don't know if it's a buzz or a demand, but why not ..."
"You don't know me and yet you lend me feelings that have never been mine", replied Marine Le Pen, at the time, in an open letter to Diam's, always very close to Vitaa, from their hit “Confessions Nocturnes” released in 2006. “Diam's is ready-to-think”, she had also provided on the set of “Everyone talks about it” presented by Thierry Ardisson.
Gims, Dadju and Slimane too
Will the rest of this amazing trio's album be as political?
There is little chance.
According to our information, the upcoming disc should consist of covers, in trio, of much less committed songs by the three artists: “No, no, non” and “Moi, c'est” by Camélia Jordana, “Ne retiens pas tes tears ”and“ Where I'm going ”by Amel Bent,“ My sister ”and“ Why men ”by Vitaa.
