We finally know who will represent France at Eurovision 2024. The head of the French delegation Alexandra Redde-Amiel indeed revealed this Wednesday, November 8, 2023 the name of the artist chosen to defend the tricolor flag… And surprise, it’s the singer Slimane who will fly to Malmo, Sweden, on May 11, 2024 to try to win first place.
Revelations made on the airwaves of France Inter while the singer revealed in the fifth season The Voice
in 2016 was also present. So, the latter did not fail to react to this happy news in front of Léa Salamé.
“I am happy”he said before admitting that he was not calm yet. “Very stressed too, I have to tell the truth. I feel like I’m almost starting over again”he added.
An assumed stress mixed with excitement. And for good reason, Slimane has long admired this competition: “There is something around Eurovision, it’s iconic, it’s an institution. We need this kind of gathering, we need music, extravagance, love, freedom… I I think that Eurovision brings all that together and that explains why there is more and more interest. And also why there are more and more artists who come out of Eurovision and become phenomena.”

“It is an obvious choice, but it is also the choice of an authentic artist who corresponds perfectly to Eurovision. (…) He is an artist in full career so of course we take a risk and measure it”,said Alexandra Redde-Amiel on France Inter before the former Vitaa sidekick revealed the title of the piece he will perform during the competition: “It was important for me to have the song because ultimately, it’s music and we shouldn’t forget it. The song is called ‘Mon Amour’.”
