Julia Young signs with her new title “Don’t go away”. Those who want to go to the land of the Whites send a message through this colourful song that transcends between France and Cameroon, their country of origin. The artist, author, composer, actress and painter, invites us on a journey through this new production.
French-Cameroonian singer, songwriter, performer and actress Julia Young makes her big comeback in 2022 with the release of a brand new 4-track EP called «KOKEN», directed by drummer Christian Djiéya and pianist Justin Bowen. This album, both sunny and nostalgic, with afropop, blues, jazz and even reggae influences, evokes strong and topical themes with softness and melancholy. This artist, influenced by Nina Simone, Tracy Chapman or Miriam Makeba brings back to the modern day its singular voice and its melodious sonorities in this rich and unique project.
“Don’t go away”: “I would like to go to the white country. I’ve made my decision, I’m going to go there. I have come to tell you that I am going to go to the land of white people. And why are you preventing me from leaving?”
