Who's Némir?
Who's Némir?
It’s finally after 6 years of a long wait that the artist Némir released his first album released in 2019 that simply bears his name and we loved it! Némir being both singer and rapper with his almost broken voice no longer goes unnoticed.

He made his debut alongside the collective L'Entourage which includes Nekfeu, Alpha Wann or Jazzy Bazz. He continues his journey by making some opening act of the gig tour of the Belgian artist Stromae for his album Racine Carré in 2013. If Némir knows a bigger notoriety it's thanks to his unique voice’s tone and his collaborations with Deen Burbigo, S-Pri Noir or Nekfeu with the tracks “Princesse” et “Elle Pleut”.
His first project was supposed to be produced much earlier, but the artist said: “I didn’t know I was so complicated, so demanding, so lazy. I found myself very afraid to face the criticism of people.” The hesitations and fears of this young artist may have delayed the release of the album but in the end, he offered us a wonderful project with all his facets.
A flayed voice with a dancing tempo and gipsy sounds. “Des Heures” reflects Némir’s musical identity. Originally from Perpignan, in the South of France, something solar emerges from this very intimate album. The song “Loin Devant” is especially intended for his mother. If writing appeared to be important in his album, Némir explained his state of mind in an interview: “I took the lead to make a very easy track and not too intellectual or elitist. I wanted a piece on a human scale, beyond any artistic arrogance. That’s the state of mind my mother gave me.”
The mixture of sunny and intimate songs and his voice constantly worked to be perceived as “broken” brings us comfort and reminds us of a certain fragility. We can say that Némir knew how to create his own universe, sometimes Rap with wild eloquence or sometimes Pop with bubbly songs. No doubt, Némir and his eponymous album won’t fail to seduce you before discovering Ora his new EP released in June 2021. Tell us about it!
