The winner of last years Junior Eurovision Song Contest is back with her first release since winning the contest in Tbilisi. The now 12-year-old Lou Deleuze has released the single “Le cri”.
About “Le cri”
The track is written by Lou herself together with Camille Bertrand. Fans of Lou will already have heard the song before, as she has previously performed the song at concerts around France since winning Junior Eurovision.
The song is another emotional ballad just like her winning entry “Ce Monde”. It deals with themes of distress and child abuse, while still remaining hopeful and reminding children that belief and courage remain even in dark times.
Lou announced the release of the single on Instagram:
“I have been waiting for this moment for so long!
Le cri will be yours on 17/09 at midnight ❤️🎶
Thank you to my label @joandcolabel for following me on this adventure and for having the courage to release a track that addresses a difficult subject.
Thank you to @lisamiquet for this sublime visual.”
