Lola Indigo put the finishing touch to 2023 with the release of the remix of Casanova together with Rvfv and its original author, the Algerian rapper Soolking, thus joining the trend that floods our country of daring to play music in the language of our neighbors, French. And, although it arrived a couple of weeks before the end of the year, it became one of the best releases of the last 12 months.
Another pop diva who has now dared to do the same is Ana Mena, who after conquering Italy, is not satisfied and is already on his way to conquering France. Together with his friend Omar Montes he is going to join the remix of Petit génie, a topic that swept several French-speaking countries last summer. Will the two Spanish artists be able to make it viral again after giving it a new life like Lola did with Casanova?
That two of the most influential singers on the Spanish music scene have taken this step is not a pure coincidence. For several years now we have been hearing fusions between French and Spanish, but during the last summer season we witnessed a boom in French music in our TikTok algorithms, making many French-speaking songs popular in our country.
Which French artists have sneaked into our TikTok?
Aya Nakamura is one of the great beneficiaries of this trend, since last year it made it onto our hit lists several times. T’as peur next to Myke Towers or I passed him They have been two of their songs that have gone viral in our country and that, despite the fact that many of the users of this sound did not even know what they were singing, they could not resist these catchy choruses. But this artist had already been making a splash years ago when she collaborated with Maluma on the remix of Djadja.
Another French-speaking artist who may have sneaked into your ‘For You’ is GIMSwho joined Spanish-speaking singers like Ozuna in MIRAGE, to María Becerra in WITHOUT YOU or Maluma in IF I CALL YOU. Surprisingly, like Aya Nakamura, she is another one who had already been warning, since in 2018 she published The same together with Alvaro Soler and Hello Miss along with Maluma, with whom he has repeated.
As you can see, French music has been slowly creeping into our lists, to such an extent that it seems that now many of the great artists also want to have their verses in this language. If Lola Indigo and Ana Mena have been the pop divas who have joined this very popular trend in 2024, Who do you think will be the next artist who encourages us to earn the A2 French title?
