French artist Poupie releases her debut album Enfant Roi via slowplay/Capitol Records. The 13-track project officially introduces her to the world, after having previously released a self-titled EP in 2019 and another titled FEU in 2020. The album is an ode to being different, with 13 songs in French, Spanish and English that, together, contain imaginative, nuanced, and mesmerizing concoctions of trap, pop, and reggae. It\u2019s an undoubtedly strong entrance for the quickly rising songstress, who is devoted to making her uniqueness the standard. The album arrives with a focus on the track \u201cMucha Labia\u201d with Puerto Rican star Guaynaa.

\u201cThis album is called \u2018Enfant Roi\u2019 which means king kid. It\u2019s an album about being a big kid in a rather hard world, but always maintaining a positive point of view and not taking anything for granted. It\u2019s about freedom, and how even with all of life\u2019s trials and tribulations, you can make your life look how you want it to,\u201d said Poupie about the album. Of \u201cMuch Labia feat. Guaynaa,\u201d she said: \u201cGuaynaa is such an amazing person and character. He\u2019s different, he always has this humorous side, and I really wanted to connect our worlds on this song.\u201d

Enfant Roi was preceded by its singles \u201cComme les Autres,\u201d \u201cThelma et Louise,\u201d and \u201cFeux\u201d (feat. Jul), the latter of which was first released in October 2020. To date, Poupie has amassed over 45 million total global streams, and was named a Spotify EQUAL artist in August of this year as well as being a part of both the Spotify RADAR 2021 program and Vevo Newcomer 2021 program. Numero Magazine also said that \u201cher (Poupie\u2019s) tracks work because they are imbued with the singer\u2019s communicative energy, and because they have that sexy and catchy side that gives them real potential to be hits... She knows what she wants and is not afraid of anything.\u201d

Poupie will be performing at the famed La Cigale in Paris on November 23, 2021.
