We discovered her delivering punchlines on a cover of “Organized Band” which had become a phenomenon on social networks, with more than 35 million views on the clock. At 25, Manon Debs, aka Vernis Rouge, was one of the sensations of the last season of “The Voice”, and this first television experience reinforced her artistic vision. “ I have this stage name because it allowed me to rediscover my part of femininity. During adolescence I was a tomboy. Maybe because I was the only girl in my siblings, and so when I was younger, I didn’t necessarily have a female figure my age to identify with. It’s Music that allowed me to talk about femininity, love and even sensuality » explains in the columns of The Dispatch the Franco-Lebanese artist, who has always been close to her mother: “ It was she who passed on to me the taste for French songs and words ».
“I wanted it to be him”
If Vernis Rouge had a hard time digesting her elimination in “The Voice”, she quickly bounced back by signing with RCA and Sony Music, offering the public an official version of “Bande Organise” and the single “Amère”. Now, the singer is moving up a gear with the development of her first album, which does not yet have a name or release date but a first official extract: “Comme des loups” in duet with Zaoui. “ I wrote this song for two, I wanted it to be him » indicates Vernis Rouge on Instagram, who worked in concert with the former singer of the French group but also with Alexandre Zuliani, the man behind the success of Thérapie Taxi, to create this very heady piece evoking a passionate and wild romance. “ I knew I wanted to talk about love in this song and I wanted something that brought us together, because we are very different and I know we can come together musically. To live like a wolf, it’s a proverb, is to live a recluse. I really wanted to do a song with Raphaël, I made him listen to it, he liked it » explains the artist to the media Simonewho wanted to “ tell a Bonnie & Clyde story ».
It is in the middle of a car scrapyard, between the headlights of a car and the machines that crush the carcasses, that Vernis Rouge and Zaoui invite us for the clip for “Comme des loups”, depicting their alchemy in a game of musical ping-pong: “ Love is for crazy people / Who burn themselves out to the end / Love is not for us / We live like wolves “. Unfortunately, as the song and the video progress, they begin the disastrous end of their romance. Because as the song says, “ loves usually end badly » ! Notice to music lovers, Vernis Rouge will perform in concert at La Cigale, in Paris, on February 26.
