LE FILLE FRANÇAISE: JAIN

Twenty-five-year-old Jain is already blowing up in her homeland, France with her debut album Zanaka going to #5. Calling her “the Northern Hemisphere’s Lorde” isn’t off the mark. Along with Christine And The Queens, Jain proves that modern French pop is exportable. Jain’s song Makeba, about South African singer, Miriam Makeba, caught the attention of Jaden Smith, who broadcast the song live to more than 100 countries on internet radio. Jain’s background is that of a true global citizen. Born in France, she lived in Dubai, Congo and Abu Dhabi as a child, which has given her pop-tastic music an African and Middle Eastern flavour. If that all sounds too lofty, check out her debut single Come, which topped the French charts complete with a goofy sci-fi video.
