One of the most popular French singers in the world, ZAZ, releases new studio album, Effet Miroir [translation: Mirror Effect], comprised entirely of original songs [listen here]. Combining elements of chanson, South American guitars, pop, salsa and rock, Effet Miroir is an album of hope that is testament to the beliefs of ZAZ, an internationally celebrated artist.
Heralding this new studio album, the first single, “Qué vendrá” [translation: “Whatever Happens”] which is sung in both French and Spanish, is about taking life as it comes and having no regrets. In ZAZ’s words: “To me this song is like a walk on the paths of life. The title echoes those last eight years I’ve spent on the road performing around the world, reminding me of all those encounters and learnings that ensued.”
On Effet Miroir – recorded between Paris, Brussels and Montreal - ZAZ hopes listeners can find and recognize themselves: "To accept all our facets with their paradoxes is for me, a way to unite the polarities of our being” ZAZ says. The album serves as an illustration of several faces and genres, just like the diversity of humanity that she had the opportunity to observe and appreciate for several years on the road, in concert or elsewhere”
ZAZ (born Isabelle Geffroy) has been compared to the likes of Edith Piaf or Ella Fitzgerald and her signature voice is celebrated all over the world – from South America to Japan, Germany to Eastern Europe, Russia to Mexico and Spain to Canada to name a few. Moving from Bordeaux to Paris as a teen, she set out to seize what would prove a unique destiny. Since the start of her career in 2010 with the seminal hit “Je veux,” ZAZ has won a multitude of awards including French and German Grammys, and has sold in excess of 4 million records internationally, with Gold status or higher in twelve countries. She has performed 500 shows all over the globe, relentlessly proving that music transcends borders. An artist of global resonance, her last album Paris (2014) saw her collaborate with the likes of Quincy Jones, Charles Aznavour and Pablo Alborán.
Quincy Jones has noted “[ZAZ] has real blues roots in her voice that you’d swear came straight out of the ghetto!”
The late legendary singer Charles Aznavour said: “ZAZ has a naturally broad appeal, can sing anything and stirs your very soul. She'll go as far as she can, and then even further. She already has a unique career, a following, and an international reputation; she's the first French singer to do that in a long time, to be enormously popular."
Zaz also has created the project Zazimut to develop and promote projects for a society more respectful of life in all its forms. “Notoriety means nothing unless you channel it into a greater good. I’ve always wanted my music to be useful and cast a light on those who need it” she says.
