Interview with Poupie

Bringin' it Backwards

We had the pleasure of interviewing Poupie over Zoom video!
French artist Poupie releases her debut album Enfant Roi via slowplay/Capitol Records. The 13-track project officially introduces her to the world, after having previously released a self-titled EP in 2019 and another titled FEU in 2020. The album is an ode to being different, with 13 songs in French, Spanish and English that, together, contain imaginative, nuanced, and mesmerizing concoctions of trap, pop, and reggae. It’s an undoubtedly strong entrance for the quickly rising songstress, who is devoted to making her uniqueness the standard. The album arrives with a focus on the track “Mucha Labia” with Puerto Rican star Guaynaa.
“This album is called ‘Enfant Roi’ which means king kid. It’s an album about being a big kid in a rather hard world, but always maintaining a positive point of view and not taking anything for granted. It’s about freedom, and how even with all of life’s trials and tribulations, you can make your life look how you want it to,” said Poupie about the album. Of “Much Labia feat. Guaynaa,” she said: “Guaynaa is such an amazing person and character. He’s different, he always has this humorous side, and I really wanted to connect our worlds on this song.”
Enfant Roi was preceded by its singles “Comme les Autres,” “Thelma et Louise,” and “Feux” (feat. Jul), the latter of which was first released in October 2020. To date, Poupie has amassed over 45 million total global streams, and was named a Spotify EQUAL artist in August of this year as well as being a part of both the Spotify RADAR 2021 program and Vevo Newcomer 2021 program. Numero Magazine also said that “her (Poupie’s) tracks work because they are imbued with the singer’s communicative energy, and because they have that sexy and catchy side that gives them real potential to be hits... She knows what she wants and is not afraid of anything.”
Poupie will be performing at the famed La Cigale in Paris on November 23, 2021.
