Emerging singer Lola Le Lann had announced her first album for October 2, 2020. But, following accusations against one of the authors of her songs, she chose to cancel her release. A radical and courageous act.
In a lengthy Instagram post, Lola Le Lann spoke about the release of her debut album. This pop opus with 80s accents was supposed to be available on October 2, 2020, but the 24-year-old actress and singer has decided to cancel everything. Indeed, she recently learned that one of its perpetrators was accused "appalling and intolerable acts" : "Last Wednesday, shortly after my post announcing the upcoming release of my album, I received a message of appalling and intolerable acts accusing one of the authors of my songs, with supporting evidence. And I learned soon after the existence of several complaints as well as a considerable number of testimonies against the same person ", she writes.
I don’t want to waste another minute chanting the lyrics of such a lie
For Lola Lelann, maintaining the release was not an option: impossible to publish an album in collaboration with a man suspected, according to Le Figaro, of sexual violence. The singer explains that she encountered problems with him during the preparation of the record: "I had had great differences with this person myself, but out of hostility to scandals without proof and respect for my team I always made sure to carry out my project as calmly as possible."Lola Le Lann has since learned the accusations of the alleged victims, and chose to act. "I don’t want to waste another minute chanting the words of such a lie", she writes. With lyrics from such a person, it would be a bit like slipping a snake down your throat trying to sing in tune. "
The young woman has not announced a new album release date, but was keen to support all those who have "crossed this person's unhealthy path." If his identity has not been revealed, according to Le Figaro, it's about "from one of the authors of French pop with 129 titles listed at Sacem."
