French native songstress Ned released her debut UK single ‘Give Me More’ on 6th April.
Produced by Benjamin Biolay’s collaborator Johan Czerneski, ‘Give Me More’ has an electro infused beat with the verses in French and the chorus in English, and is described by Ned as “sensual and fresh, just like the spontaneous natural Ned”.
The track explores femininity and how women can sometimes be perceived as the inferior gender.
Ned grew up in the suburbs of Paris, as quite a reserved young woman she searched for a way to express herself and found herself using dance, music and writing as an outlet to convey her passion for creativity.
From writing her first set of poems at the age of 12, she went on to have a career in journalism, whilst secretly perfecting her song writing.
A self-taught musician, Ned plays both the guitar and ukulele, enabling her to compose aspects of the music to compliment her songwriting skills, starting with the melody on her ukulele and writing lyrics in French.
You can expect much more from Ned this year with her forthcoming EP due for release later in the year, which sees her work with producer Greg Jacks, the drummer for the multi-platinum French pop band Superbus and art rock duo The Dukes.
Ned can be described as mixture between the modern-day Cyndi Lauper and Christine and the Queens, she has the vocal powers of Lauper and an eclectic music style drawing on a range of influences and genres.
