To promote her EP entitled No Roots and her upcoming studio album, English and German singer Alice Merton came to La Boule Noire to get to know her French fans.
The world of Alice Merton
Following her concert, Alice Merton highlights that she has all the assets to succeed. From a musical point of view, she chains very rhythmic pieces at the level of the voice and electric guitar riffs. New titles such as Learn To Live and Holes which comes from the famous line of the single No Roots "I like digging holes and, hiding things inside them" really stick to the skin by forcing you to dance and let yourself be carried away by the powerful rhythm of the songs.
Not only is Alice Merton a queen of the dancefloor but she also draws a few tears to the audience, especially with Back To Berlin , where her high-pitched voice, very powerful and with touches of lyrical singing à la Florence + The Machine, make the audience shiver with emotion.
An ecstatic audience
Alice Merton does not chain her songs without saying anything. She establishes a real connection with the audience by taking out sentences in French " I am very happy to be tonight in Paris" and talking about the inspiration behind her songs. On I Don't Hold A Grudge, she addresses a friend she lost touch with until her success, Honeymoon Heartbreak is for " everyone who knows heartache " and Two Kids for "her manager, a friend since college". Alice Merton confides in the public and also talks about the difficulty she experienced in the face of several refusals from music labels who wanted to change her musical universe at all costs.
In fact, the audience was so thrilled to see her on stage that she sang her No. 1 single twice in France No Roots. If this happens, it is because you really have a very good piece in your hands and you are on the road to success.
Alice Merton has the voice, melodies, lyrics, instrumentalization and personality to have a monumental success in the world of music. The only way to convince you is to go see her in concert, it is a real surprise and an unforgettable moment. Alice Merton will definitely be a very present face in 2018 and we are looking forward to her next date in Paris as well as her first album
