Zaoui

On January 23, 2027 at La Laiterie in Strasbourg, Zaoui takes the stage solo with a direct French pop sound that blends electronic pulses and dance inflections. First noticed with Thérapie Taxi, Raphaël Faget-Zaoui is now carving out his path under his artist name, with upfront lyrics that examine our norms and habits, balancing light insolence and intimate confidences. His debut record in 2023 laid the groundwork, followed by a series of singles that clarified his direction: “Toxic et Chic” and then “Xanax mon amour” in 2025, two complementary tracks where emotional clarity and self-mockery meet immediate melodies, and “Love Noir,” a duet with Stéphane, which introduces a darker hue.

Announced for 2026, his upcoming album provides the through-line for the live show. On stage Zaoui emphasizes intimacy and impact: a rhythmically spoken-sung delivery, choruses that hit, and an energy forged by years of touring. The set moves between incisive numbers and more vulnerable moments, uncompromising in its language and driven by a pop tension that remains front and center. A date to see a songwriter who likes to tell intimate stories at dancefloor level, and who crafts his songs as much for the room as for the night.
