Music of the Week: April 5, 2024: Emma Kok – Voilà

Teenage Dutch singer Emma Kok floors the entire audience during André Rieu’s annual Maastricht concert in July 2023. The song she sings with such striking authenticity, “Voilà,” was written by French singer Barbara Pravi to represent France in the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest, gaining second place.

Make sure to switch on subtitles on the video to follow the lyrics! But, even without a knowledge of French, Emma’s words and performance directly captivate the innermost song of life of everybody present. It is the emphatic empowerment and permission to be who you are!

Voilà, voilà, voilà, voilà qui je suis
Me voilà même si mise à nue c'est fini
C'est ma gueule c'est mon cri, me voilà tant pis
Voilà, voilà, voilà
