Eurovision 2018: France

Madame Monsieur: "Mercy"

Eurovision: Final
France
Madame Monsieur
“Mercy”

Since the dawn of time, the old saying is that two is better than one. In some cases, it rings as true to the ears as it does to the eyes. This is what happens when you cross paths with Madame Monsieur, the French duo formed by Jean-Karl and Emilie. Their shared musical and personal journey began in a bar ten years ago. The day after that first glance, the first words and first notes were already flowing between them. In 2018, they unleashed Vu d’ici, a debut album that pushes the boundaries of both urban and pop worlds.

Emilie’s love of chanson and her writing style were influenced by French greats such as Barbara and Nino Ferrer, as well has her fascination with jazz and blues. Emilie also inherited her love of music from her childhood in Nice, where stories were sung to her instead of read. Jean-Karl had a formal education in the alto section of the Conservatory of Amiens and his polar-opposite upbringing, filled with English songwriters and the kings of pop.
