Eurovision 2017 - France's Entry

Eurovision is the world’s most popular song contest (and you’ve never heard about it).

France is sending Alma with her entry Requiem.

Digital platforms named her one of the most promising emerging artists of 2017. Alma is a stellar, talented young woman, pianist, singer and songwriter with a unique and ethereal voice. She presents her new single Requiem which reveals her quest for never ending love, with poetic and dreamlike lyrics.

It was when Alma started to live abroad that she wrote her first songs while pursuing her studies. After getting her business school degree, she devoted herself to her lifelong passion: music. She moved to Paris and embarked on "the most beautiful journey of all", that's when she met Nazim (Khaled), the talented songwriter who also wrote J'ai Cherché for Amir last year, with whom she wrote most of the songs on her first album which will be released on 5th May 2017.

Alma sings about life, her life, our life. While she deals with universal themes such as love and death, Alma brings her own very personal approach. She performs a deft balancing act, singing on the edge between two worlds, reconciling the world of dreams with stark reality.

How do you think Alma will do? Let us know in the comments.
