Marie Colomera + Melba

L'Espace Hyperion welcomes young artists with rich and varied repertoires. French chanson with echoes of saudade Originally from Saint-Raphaël, Marie Colomera performs 1970s French pop chanson with Latin influences, somewhere between vintage realism and modern saudade. Cradled by the sea since childhood and inspired by ancient mysteries, she plays alongside her guitar, with a smooth voice in which gentleness, warmth and calm answer one another—some might say “like Françoise Hardy crossing through the Cities of Gold.” Marked by a refined aesthetic and a certain sophistication, her elegant, infectious melodies envelop us in a suspended atmosphere that is both light and melancholic. With the strings of her guitar, Marie Colomera charts an escape route dotted with stopovers on the turbulent waters of her emotions. Pop chanson Sunlit pop, sung fearlessly and freed from chaos, whose troubles and twists so skillfully dissolve behind a crystal-clear chorus. Too Beautiful for You, Melba’s second EP, stands as the new starting point for an inner exploration, an affirmation of identity and, above all, a musical grounding. Since Cœur Combattant, her first short-format release published in 2019, the young woman has traded vague desires for clearly defined intentions. She then embarked on a sonic quest, firmly determined to steer her own creative ship. To show her face openly: that of a lover of pop who does not hesitate to cite Indila and Rosalía as major inspirations, alongside Tsar B and Lo-Fang, who navigate a more independent sphere.
