There was this French song called Bécane that went viral about a year ago (idk, am not in Tik Tok).
I recently checked the artist out, Yamê is the name and I freaked out beyond what I ever could have imagined.... And the fact that he's also from Cameroon just somehow makes sense and makes the listening experience better.
Like his first album was released recently, called Ébēm and it's full of little nods and lines that reference the culture and the genre makossa but in a weirdly nice modern twist
The way he uses his voice, the high notes are unpolished but convey just the right amount of emotion. And when you speak French the lyrics are so immersive, the storytelling in his song Celine in particular just makes me want to scream and cry at the same time
Just do yourself a favour and go check him out
