Suzane’s Cameo review | Anchored in its time

In a few years, Suzane has become a big star in France. First by his presence on the web, then thanks to his first album released in 2020, You youwhich earned him the Victory of Stage Revelation in 2020. Some of his songs have accumulated millions of plays, his clip The dissatisfied has been viewed 37 million times on YouTube, and as of 2021, she found herself nominated as a Female Artist alongside Apple (who won it) and Aya Nakamura.


The singer-songwriter who also trained as a classical dancer has just launched a second album, cameo, which continues in the same sophisticated and dancing electropop vein. In 16 songs, she asserts her sense of celebration and rhythm, but above all she continues to deal with more sensitive subjects.

She is interested in the vagaries of stardom in the very beautiful Oceanespeaks openly about sexuality (Clit Is Good, on female pleasure, the clip of which was even censored by YouTube!) and sexual diversity, bereavement, immigration and domestic violence. She also dives a lot into her life and her memories to talk as much about the difficulty as the importance of finding herself and finding her place in the world.

There are all sorts of references in its music and lyrics, from Mylène Farmer (one song is titled squarely Generation disenchanted, a kind of very touching sequel to this indestructible tube) to David Guetta via Celine Dion and French rap. And with his rich voice, his empathetic gaze and his beats irrepressible, Suzane sometimes reminds a little of the approach of Eddy de Pretto, but she is above all a unique artist and anchored in her time, who entertains as much as she makes you think.
