A person is sometimes said to be a ray of sunshine, the expression has never been more relevant when meeting Lydia Lawrence.
Originally from Saint-Martin, the beauty of her voice is proportional to the purity of her soul. Lydia Lawrence never stops reinventing herself, this time she comes back to us in the company of the French singer Myriam D'Arville "Les Generations Girls", duet which will delight the most nostalgic with covers from the 80s, the first choice of which was the cover of Karen Cheryl "Les Nouveaux Romantiques". On this 6-track EP, we therefore find this flagship track, as well as "Le Paradis Blanc" by Michel Berger, "T'es OK" by Ottawan, "Africa" by Rose Laurens, "Joue Pas" by François Feldman and " Baby Can I Hold You ”by Tracy Chapman whose music video will be shot in mid-June here in Saint-Martin. “I haven't given up on zouk, but it's another stage in my life. I am Caribbean, I am a woman of the world, I want to evolve and go further. Thanks to the three-year tour with Patrick Sébastien, I realized that the time had come for me to explore musical worlds other than zouk, even if it remains dear to my heart. " The collaboration with Myriam was spontaneous when the latter visited Lydia in her adopted Savoy. This project also aims to promote open-mindedness and multiculturalism. Some detractors will still be able to reproach him for his choices but Lydia Lawrence, the result of crossbreeding, will draw even more strength and determination. The Covid-19 crisis allowed her to refocus on herself and add a new string to her already well-supplied bow. As a tribute to her father, a stonemason, Lydia makes jewelry, the stones of which she selects with care. Jewelry available at the Coco boutique in Marigot as well as in Saint-Barth. Her talent also goes hand in hand with her generosity, the day after Irma, Lydia created her foundation "A light for the islands" to help the children of Saint-Martin, by bringing in 400 kilos of school supplies each year. A great lady, a ray of sunshine. _VX
