Lââm

Lââm (born 1 September 1971) is a French singer of Tunisian descent. She has sold more than 4,000,000 singles & albums. Lââm (whose real name is Lamia) was born in Paris, and had family problems during childhood. At a very young age, she developed a passion for music. A producer commented on her singing and the way she interpreted songs; thus Lââm's career began. She released her first single "Chanter pour ceux qui sont loin de chez eux", which was a reprise of Michel Berger's song. The French public bought 960,000 copies of the song (gold disc certification). The song ranked second on the Top 50 for nine weeks. Lââm released her first album Persévérance which contained additional versions of Michel Berger's songs, as well as "Jamais loin de toi", "Assez", "Les enfants de l'an 2000" and the encore "Face à Face". In 2001, she released her second album Une vie ne suffit pas and reached gold certification with more than 100,000 copies sold. The album spawned two hit singles: "Que l'amour nous garde" and "De ton indifférence". In 2002, Lââm performed a huge concert/tour at Paris Olympia.

The single, interpreted by Lââm and Frank Sherbourne was placed fifth in the Top 50. In 2004, Lââm released an album showcasing a broader sampling of musical genres than previous work. In its production, a variety of sounds were used including rock, contemporary R&B and rap music, as well as several duets with (Jean-Jacques Goldman, Lisa Stansfield, Princess Aniès...). The album contained two singles written and composed by Jean-Jacques Goldman: "Tu es d'un chemin" and "On pardonne". Both Goldman songs aired on radio but were short lived.
