Since the end of the Star Academy, Ebony Cham has been moving forward at full speed. A prominent finalist against Marine, she is juggling projects and gradually building her artistic universe. But this time, she has taken an unexpected turn, as revealed by Purepeople. Before even unveiling her very first album, the singer is trying out a completely different exercise – that of hosting.
Radio Genesis: Ebony Cham surprises with an unexpected role
On Instagram, the singer shared news that surprised her fans. Ebony has become the voice of Radio Genesis, a new podcast launched by Apple Music. “It’s finally here, I am very happy to announce the arrival of Radio Genesis. I can finally talk to you about this project we have been working on for several months!” she wrote enthusiastically. Over six episodes, the artist offers a behind-the-scenes look into her music creation. The first episode, available since April 4th, features a conversation with Marguerite, also captivated by the show. But far from a simple interview, Ebony Cham promises an intimate dive into her world. She reflects on her influences, doubts, and everything that has nourished her music. This format allows her to tell her story differently, with a new sense of freedom.
“Everything is thought out”: Ebony Cham reveals a very intimate album
This podcast actually accompanies a moment in her career with the imminent release of her first album, MENELIK, expected on April 24th. A particularly well-crafted project, with every detail carefully considered. In an interview with Billboard, the singer said, “I am satisfied because, overall, on the album, you can really feel that I am drawing a little from each sound, each influence.” She also expresses a clear ambition: “My goal is to create my own sound.” And above all, the singer emphasizes the overall coherence of her album: “Each song in the album is not there by chance. Everything is thought out so that I can tell a story and make everything meaningful.” By opening the doors to her creative process, the young artist reveals both her certainties and moments of doubt, cleverly building anticipation for her album while asserting her artistic identity. One thing is certain, the young artist does not plan on doing things halfway!
