TV2 selected La Zarra as the singer for France.
Her song, Évidemment, was presented and released on the digital platforms on February 19.
Évidemment was written by La Zarra herself with Ahmen Sagir and Banx & Ranx (Yannick Rastogi and Zachary Raymond).
A pronounciation mistake in the first digital single release has been corrected and it has been updated in a version replacing the original. (see comments, thanks Earl) The difference is at 2:27.
This probably makes it the tiniest revamp in Eurovision recording history, technically only removing one letter.
A 1-track promo cdsingle is issued.
On June 23 a duet version with Katerina Stikoudi was released.
Stikoudi sings her parts in Greek.
The Xookwankii remix has been on the net a while before it was released through Spotify on September 22. Not sure how official this is as it's not through La Zarra's own label.
La Zarra (Québec born Fatima Zahra Hafdi) released her recommended first album Traîtrise in December 2021. Tu t'en iras was a #75 hit in France in 2021 and achieved Platinum status in January 2023.
Her last single (before Évidemment) was Sans Moi.

Early version of the digital single (Universal Music Division Capitol Music France 602455404046) has been replaced by a corrected version (Universal Music Division Capitol Music France 602455453501).
ReplyDeleteThe early version featured an error in the bridge: she was singing "de vous à moi, de moi-Z-à vous, ai-je réussi..." which is considered a pronunciation (liaison) mistake in French. This has since been corrected in the new uploaded version.
Thank you for that Earl.
DeleteThe live version is a bit different from the original. It has a small revamp, but I think it's not released yet.
