Victoires de la musique 2023: Stromae big favorite ahead of Orelsan and Angèle, Indochine absent

2023-01-09T21:07:24.090Z


The 38th Victoires de la Musique will take place on February 10 at the Seine Musicale. The nominations were unveiled on Monday with many


Who will succeed the two big winners of the 2022 Victories, Orelsan with three Victories and Clara Luciani, who left with two trophies?

Answer on Friday February 10 from 9:10 p.m. at the Seine Musicale, in Boulogne-Billancourt on France 2 and live on France Inter.

The event committee and France 2 unveiled this Monday evening, January 9, 2023, at the Casino de Paris the names of the new nominees… And the least we can say is that there is an air deja vu…

Orelsan and Angèle are nominated in three categories, the second is even certain to win the prize for the most streamed female album of the year with the reissue of “Nonante-five”.

Clara Luciani is present in two prizes, as is Juliette Armanet, who left empty-handed last year.

“All these artists released their album at the end of 2021, but the discs have longer lifespans and they were on tour in 2022, commented the president of Victories, Stéphane Espinosa.

This explains their presence in this selection.

Smashing comeback for Stromae

The prize goes to Stromae, who garnered four nominations, two for "Multitude" in the "Male Artist" and "Album of the Year" categories and two for his songs, "L'enfer" selected as the "original song of the year” and “Fils de joie” as best audiovisual creation.

Several artists are tied with two designations.

With its “Éphémère” project, which has sold more than 50,000 copies, the trio made up of Grand Corps Malade, Ben Mazué and Gaël Faye is competing for the “album” and the “male artist”.

Pomme is also present twice, as “female artist” and “album” for her aptly named “Consolation”.

The Toulouse rapper brothers Bigflo and Oli are in the running for the "male artist" and the "audiovisual creation" with the clip of their duet with Julien Doré, "Coup de vieux".

A facelift all the same on this 2023 selection, the presence in two categories of Pierre de Maere, whose hit "Un jour je marierai un ange" allows him to be present both in the "song of the year" and “the male revelation”.

A relative surprise for this 21-year-old Belgian who will only release his first album on January 27.

With the exception of Jacques, who is 31 years old and has four albums to his credit and denotes a bit in new faces, the list of revelations suffers from no questions.

We find among the women November Ultra, Emma Peters and Mentissa, authors of three remarkable first albums.

And among the men, in addition to Pierre de Maere, we welcome the presence of two young rappers, Lujipeka and Tiakola.

Renewal of voters, few on the side of artists

The most listened to music in France, hip-hop remains the poor relation of the Victoires, even if Ninho is already winner in the category of the most streamed male album of the year with "Jéfé", released at the end of 2021. Jeanne Added and Izïa, also very prominent in 2022, are very aptly named.

Major absentees from these Victories, Benjamin Biolay, who it is true released two albums in two years, - M - and the group Indochine, whose success in the stadiums is incomprehensibly absent among the tours of the year... As for Mylène Farmer and Lomepal, who have released two successful and popular records in recent months... They asked not to participate in the Victoires...

Laury Thilleman, after hosting two editions with Stéphane Bern, then Olivier Minne, will be alone this time at the microphone but accompanied "from time to time by former emblematic presenters".

“A year ago the ceremony was still masked and this will be the year of a return to normal”, welcomed the president of Victories, Stéphane Espinosa, who insisted on three novelties: 50% of new voters , rejuvenation and diversification of the public participating in the votes and five choices instead of one in each category.

This renewal of voters obviously did not have a great influence on the renewal of artists.
