A luxury gift for Julie! Lately, the 19-year-old young woman has been in heaven. During the week of surprises, she had the chance to land a duet with Louane, revealed to the general public on the show “The Voice” in 2013. Eleven years and five albums later, the singer has evolved a lot. Last Friday, she appeared at the piano, with dyed red hair and a black suit, to accompany Julie on “Feeling Good”, the title by Nina Simone dating from 1965. Singing with a renowned artist without having been able to rehearse alongside her beforehand was a major challenge that the academic rose to with flying colors. “ But wow, I have nothing else to say. I don’t have the words, it was so good! Thank you so much “, she confided after her performance. “ It’s special not to rehearse with the person you have to sing with. It’s intense », added Louane, who has just released a new record entitled “Solo”. “ I regularly tell my students that you learn your trade on stage. This evening I saw you grow instantly alongside Louane. You are a great artist “, said Sofia Morgavi, the singing teacher. And this week, a new surprise awaited Julie…
