The track serves as the launchpad for her upcoming album titled <strong><em>VERSATILE<\/em><\/strong>, scheduled for release on April 3, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The video, directed by <strong>Alan Cohen<\/strong> and produced by the company <strong>Sign<\/strong> (with <strong>No\u00e9 Bahurel<\/strong> on editing), highlights this chemistry. The track is already accompanying the album\u2019s pre-order campaign, confirming that <strong><em>Comme Caroline<\/em><\/strong> is one of the key pieces of this return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">A dialogue at the top of French rap<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">In this track, <strong>MC Solaar<\/strong> brings his signature pen for a verse that responds directly to the voice of the Algerian-Canadian singer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">This isn\u2019t just another \u201cfeaturing\u201d: it\u2019s <strong>a genuine exchange between two pillars<\/strong> of the Francophone scene. For <strong>Zaho<\/strong>, collaborating with the ace of French rap highlights her desire to reach a wide audience for her new project, while paying tribute to the history of the movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">After the album <strong><em>R\u00c9SILIENCE<\/em><\/strong> released in 2023, <strong>Zaho<\/strong> returns with a project she describes as more diverse. Besides this duet with <strong>Solaar<\/strong>, the project will also include the track <strong><em>Amour Propre<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The artist whom the public discovered in 2008 with the timeless <strong><em>C\u2019est chelou<\/em><\/strong> has lost none of the power of her voice. It\u2019s worth recalling that the singer, originally from Algiers and raised in Canada, has managed to establish herself in France through her writing and melodies. From her beginnings with the album <strong><em>DIMA<\/em><\/strong> to her collaborations with <strong>La Fouine<\/strong>, <strong>MHD<\/strong>, and <strong>Tayc<\/strong>, she has always kept one foot in the rap scene while reaching a wider audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">To support this release, the singer has also planned a series of concerts across France for 2026. Fans will be able to see her on stage in Marseille, Bordeaux, and Lille, with a scheduled stop at the <strong>Z\u00e9nith de Paris \u2013 La Villette<\/strong> on November 14, 2026. This Parisian date promises to be a highlight of her tour in one of the capital\u2019s most iconic venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketmaster.fr\/fr\/manifestation\/zaho-billet\/idmanif\/644093\/idtier\/18864121?utm_medium=affiliate&amp;clickId=TeNWpGxJQxyZWg%3AV3tSJYxp1UkuzRczAEQLh080&amp;irgwc=1&amp;afsrc=1&amp;utm_source=Bandsintown&amp;utm_campaign=219208&amp;utm_content=1107977_7516\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.ticketmaster.fr\/fr\/manifestation\/zaho-billet\/idmanif\/644093\/idtier\/18864121?utm_medium=affiliate&amp;clickId=TeNWpGxJQxyZWg%3AV3tSJYxp1UkuzRczAEQLh080&amp;irgwc=1&amp;afsrc=1&amp;utm_source=Bandsintown&amp;utm_campaign=219208&amp;utm_content=1107977_7516\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Click here to get your ticket! <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reseauunderground.com\/en\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"www.reseauunderground.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here to <strong>submit your project<\/strong> via the <strong>Official portal of Hip-Hop Magazine<\/strong>, accessible on the <strong>Underground Network<\/strong>.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the same time, the singer is preparing a tour in France scheduled for 2026.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":13529,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[679,670,678,606,2315,1128,330,162,1219],"class_list":["post-13526","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-europe","tag-actualites","tag-hip-hop","tag-journal","tag-magazine-hip-hop","tag-mc-solaar","tag-media","tag-rap","tag-videos","tag-zaho"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13526","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/27"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13526"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13526\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13537,"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13526\/revisions\/13537"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13526"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13526"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.magazinehiphop.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
