DUBAI: This week, French-Algerian singer Lolo Zouai performed her latest single “Galipette” on Vevo CTRL, Vevo’s performance series that highlights both emerging and established musicians making an impact on the industry. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @arabnews.lifestyle During the live session, the Brooklyn-based artist began singing her new hit while holding an oversized blue teddy bear before tossing it aside when the beat dropped. She joins other artists such as French Montana, Common, Lil Baby and Giggs, who have all stepped up to the mic in Vevo’s online musical series. “Really proud of how this came out,” she wrote, sharing a clip of the performance on Twitter. The 26-year-old’s live session comes just a couple of weeks after she dropped the electrifying official music video for “Galipette.” Wild and disruptive, the clip is directed by Amber Grace Johnson and is a visual trip, featuring the artist boxing underwater — Zouai admits she trained for almost two months before to make sure she was in good shape for this scene — crashing a mattress store and a synchronized dance routine performed by the UCLA champion gymnastics team. With lyrics in both French and English, the track is a reminder of the artist’s rich cultural roots.

And it appears that the singer isn’t slowing down anytime soon. This year seems to be just as promising for the artist, whose highly anticipated second album is on its way and who is also set to open up for British crooner Dua Lipa on her “Future Nostalgia” European tour.
