Meryl has emerged as a defining voice of her generation, revealed by the 2019 single Béni and followed by the EP Ozoror (2023) and her debut album Caviar I (2024). Nominated at the Victoires de la Musique and Les Flammes in 2024, her songs blend intimate lyricism with bold melodic textures. Presented by Voix de Fête and Inouïe, this concert foregrounds the voice, moving between hushed confession and soaring chorus, with close musical interplay.

Picture This, led by singer-songwriter Ryan Hennessy, presents songs from their fourth album Parked Car Conversations. The band blends bright pop-rock with indie and folk-pop hues, pairing catchy guitars and anthemic choruses with Hennessy’s warm, expressive vocal delivery. Tracks such as “Song to Myself” and “Leftover Love” reveal a new emotional depth, balancing immediacy and introspection. Live arrangements favor melodic hooks and enveloping dynamics, creating an intimate yet celebratory atmosphere that invites attentive listening.

The trio’s return with Love Changes Everything (2024) deepens their reputation for emotive soundscapes and intense live catharsis. Their long collaborations with artists like Nick Cave, Cat Power and Bonnie “Prince” Billy underscore a singular voice in contemporary alternative music.

Revealed at Voix de Fête 2025, MIKI’s show feels immediate and unvarnished, alternating between playful chaos and fragile honesty.
