Zoé Clauzure (French pronunciation: [zɔe klozyʁ]; born 12 February 2010) is a French child singer and actress best known for winning the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2023 with the song "Cœur". Previously, in 2020, she had reached the semi-finals of the seventh season of the French version of The Voice Kids.
Career
[edit]Clauzure was discovered in 2019 during the seventh season of The Voice Kids France (broadcast in 2020). In the blind auditions, she sang "Homeless" by Marina Kaye. Of the four judges, only Soprano turned his seat for her and took her in his team, bringing her all the way to the semi-finals.[1] "You have a Vanessa Paradis charisma, you are already a star," he said when choosing Zoé for the semis,[2] where she sang "Je sais pas" by Céline Dion and wasn't chosen by him to advance.[3]
In November, she released a single titled "Ma place", for which she wrote the lyrics together with Bernard Clapot.[4][5]
In October 2021, she released an album Les Fables de La Fontaine en chansons en chansons (meaning "La Fontaine's Fables in song form") as part of the singing group We Are World Citizens,[1] composed of children from past seasons of The Voice Kids.[6][7][8]
In 2022, she released a solo single titled "Dans les nuages".[9] The single and the accompanying music video were a prize for winning the Billieblush Academy, a singing contest for girls below the age of 13, organized by the clothes mark Billieblush.[10][11]
Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2023
[edit]
On 27 September 2023, France Télévisions announced having selected Zoé with a song titled "Cœur" to represent France at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2023 that would be held in Nice, France on 26 November.[12] On the same day, the song was released as a single.[13]
The song is about school bullying.[14][15] The lyrics encourage the listeners to "move forward towards victory", even if there were people wanting to see you fail.[16]
On 26 November, Zoé won the Junior Eurovision with a total of 228 points, 27 points ahead of second-placed Spain.[17] This was France's second consecutive and third overall victory at the contest.[18][14]
