Thanks for your comments about Pomme. Such a great artist, such a great heart. She should be on of the major French artist for the future decades .... So talented !
Hearing this version makes me feel teary too. :') It's a little slower than the album version, but still. I'm glad you're enjoying listening to her! I wish more people did Pomme reactions because they're really missing out. I highly recommend you watch her live performance of "Les Oiseaux" (pronounced like "layz wahzoh") in Brussels. She plays the autoharp there and you get a much better demonstration of her vocals, imo. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hpNtME-e0XY.html
Hey Orion, french viewer here ! I'm really glad you appreciate Pomme's music, and if you're interested I would highly recommand Pomme's song "pourquoi la mort te fait peur" (why does death scare you) for a future reaction. See you ☺️
Pomme is so freaking good n cute!!! Ya ves Orion? toldya Lil Apple is another shining body in our kinda darkish sky that's why she gets along with our Beautiful and Sweet Aurora so well thumbs up yo Que tengas un buen dia grande abrazo hermano Which means this is your Spanish practice for today
I am a recent fan of Pomme but she very quickly jumped at one of my very favorite artists. Her real name is Claire Pommet and her stage name is Pomme which means Apple in french. She is 25 yo, from Lyon in France, and is multi-talented : amazing voice, great instrumentalist (she plays guitar, autoharp, piano, cello, vocoder, banjo, synthetizer, …), and she composes and write most of her songs. She erupted on the french musical scene about 7 years ago, with some covers and duets on YT, when she was 18 yo . Then late 2017 she had her first stage performance in Paris and she released her first Album "A peu près". She wrote 2 songs on this first album. But since then, she has composed/written ALL songs from their next 2 albums: the second album "Les Failles", released in 2019. I believe she also wrote and composed all songs from the upcoming 3rd album "Consolation". This is at least the case for the first 2 singles that were disclosed in the past weeks: "Tombeau" and "Nelly". She even produced these and co-directed the video for "Nelly" . She is getting a lot of recognition in France: she has won the Best Newcomer Album award in Les Victoires de la musique 2020 (France music award ceremony) and she has won the Best Female Artist award in the 2021 edition. She starts to be recognized on the international scene as well: - Aurora is a fan of her (Pomme also is a fan of Aurora since 2015) and Pomme was the first featuring on an Aurora album (wonderful duet called "Everything matters" , here is the live version better than the official video you used for the reaction ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yX8bYwl9rKc.html ) , they started a nice friendship, we can expect some additional collab in the future. - Billie Eilish also stated she is a fan and subscribed to Pomme’s channel: when she was on french radio, she talked about Pomme and asked Pomme to text her so they can get in touch. Later Pomme said they did. Again Pomme is a fan of Billie and made a very beautiful french cover of Bad Guy. - She is also highly praised by Julia and Angus Stone or Asaf Avidan that picked her for the opening of their concerts in France in 2018 . Julia invited her later to cover her hit Big Jet Plane with her autoharp on the album Songs for Australia (record from many artists to fund the battle against fires in Australia) and Julia , when she decided to sing a song in french, also asked Pomme to write the lyrics of a french translation of her hit Dance. Pomme plays autoharp since she is 14 yo, she explained she discovered this instrument as an absolute fan of the folk and country music ( fan of Joan Baez, Dolly Parton, ...) She defines her music as Authentic, Acoustic and Sad. She said there is always hope in her songs however. For some of her songs, hope is visible at the surface and some others, you have to dig down. Her songs relate to the Nature and the environment, to her own story and family, to different social issues (eg La lumiere is a song on Alzheimer's disease) and also her experience as a young lesbian girl. She said she is transforming her dreams and nightmares into songs or visuals for her videos. Her lyrics are poetic, she loves to leave room for personal interpretation and reinterpretation. This is something she discussed with Aurora recently in a live stream and they were both in the same direction here (as for many other things BTW). You can check this incredible conversation (in english, after the first couple minutes from Pomme in french): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mOQWFUkXrM0.html. She is also apparently a writer as she just released a book for the youth named "Sous les paupières". I would recommend for your next reactions to Pomme (any of these is great, but this is my personal rank list): - Les Oiseaux ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hpNtME-e0XY.html - Soleil Soleil ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v6zbvQkJFKM.html - La lumière ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b_E0pqf_Ht0.html - Les cours d'eau ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zH75VxVCOW8.html - Une minute ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-poWHL_7E2qM.html - On brûlera ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ySAsCIyp90Y.html - Les Sequoias ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Qc8pJoF-uhg.html - A perte de vue ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--xulsY5AGew.html - Anxiété ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7ORSodCFJWg.html - Grandiose ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cUZmqeIWd3Q.html - Adieu mon Homme ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VIMZWYCrzs0.html - Ceux qui rêvent ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t7HvF2PUbVQ.html - Nelly ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1aM8ipEtgs0.html as well as a few covers: - Big Jet Plane (cover of Julia Stone): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EcYMYR8F4hg.html - Göttingen (cover of Barbara): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dhrBINKuTE4.html - Désenchantée (cover of Mylène Farmer): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8i33JhPCsMA.html - Umbrella (cover of Rihanna): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IE5DbnAkb1w.html - Can't help falling in Love (cover of Elvis): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I4bD1QnZecI.html - Bad Guy (french cover of Billie Eilish ): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9lcxzZcAFTE.html
Saying this or that song is Pomme"s best is completely ridiculous and impossible (for me anyway) . Right now I'm fixated on "Les Rivières" from her just released album. Absolutely fantastic!
Pomme is a bit of a genius songwriter. There aren't too many honestly nowadays. The only other ones I can think of under 40 are Suzanne Sundfor (check her out if you have not), Eivor, and Noah Gundersen. I found out about Pomme last year, and glad I did. She reminds me of a French Joan Baez with really good tone control.
if you want you can react to Carla Morrison, she is a Mexican musician, she is very good and my favorite song is "hasta la piel". (She even inspired Billie Elish's singing style.) another good one is called "Eres tú" is very beautiful. i don't know if you have listened to her. i love pomme by the way.
