Le Pop la Série: Loa Mercury

8:00 p.m. | Concert | JAKI

Pay attention. If you don’t let Loa Mercury ’s extravagant style distract you, you’ll discover an exceptionally talented songwriter—and a brave heart to boot. Armed with high heels, Loa Mercury walked through half of Paris, handing out flyers, and managed to sell out the legendary “Maroquinerie” even before her first album was released. And now—just before her debut finally comes out—she’s even playing her first concert in Germany. What’s already evident on her first singles and EPs: a singer who exudes a captivating strength and intensity at the piano. Even her faster, poppier songs have verve and class. The young French chanson scene is rich with versatile and creative talents. The latest addition is this stunning queer singer.
