A few months after her elimination from " Star Academy ," Anouk Klein is taking another step in her musical career. The Belgian singer has officially signed with Columbia, a label of Sony Music France, as part of a partnership that also includes Endemol France and BC11. Her first single, "Ta peau" (Your Skin), is scheduled for release on September 25th.
Anouk Klein, who rose to fame during the last season of TF1's singing competition, reached the thirteenth live show before being eliminated just before the semi-finals. Since leaving the Dammarie-les-Lys castle, the young artist has been preparing for her entry into the music industry. The announcement of her record deal was particularly welcomed by several former classmates, including Jeanne Viard and Marguerite.
Columbia strengthens its link with Star Academy
With this signing, Columbia continues its policy of supporting former "Star Academy" contestants. The label already boasts several stars from recent seasons, including Pierre Garnier , Marine, Lenie, Marguerite, and Jeanne Viard. This phenomenon extends beyond Columbia, as other former Star Academy contestants have joined RCA Records and Epic Records, two other labels owned by Sony Music France.
The record label thus occupies an important place in the post-"Star Academy" era, particularly since renewing its partnership with TF1 and Endemol France . For Anouk Klein, this signing represents above all the true launch of her professional career after the show. The release of "Ta peau," scheduled for September 25th, will now allow listeners to gauge the artistic identity she intends to develop far from the Dammarie-les-Lys castle.
