Jain is Jeanne Louise Galice, a singer-songwriter and musician born in Toulouse in 1992, and her rise has the tidy logic of a modern fairy tale. In 2013 she met Mr. Flash, who showed her how to program music; she posted her demos on MySpace, where they caught the ear of Dready, who became her longtime manager; and Yodelice liked what he heard enough to invite her to Paris.
The Hope EP in 2015 introduced "Makeba" and "Come", bright, clattering songs that blend pop, reggae, electro and sounds from much further afield, with Jain's cool, clear voice gliding over the top. "Makeba" in particular is irresistible, a joyous stomp built for summer. Her debut album, Zanaka, followed on November 6, 2015, and Souldier arrived in 2018.
France took notice: she was named female artist of the year at the Victoires de la Musique in 2017, and the NRJ Music Awards crowned her French-speaking female artist of the year in 2018.
