POMME

Under the name Pomme, French singer-songwriter Claire Pommet belongs to a generation of artists who have brought intimacy back to the heart of francophone music. Born near Lyon in 1996 and a multi-instrumentalist (guitar, autoharp…), she has spent the last decade building a world somewhere between folk, pop and chanson – gentle on the surface, but with striking emotional intensity.

She first came to wider attention with À peu près (2017), then established herself with Les failles (2019), an album that earned her a Victoire de la Musique in 2020, followed by the award for Female Artist of the Year in 2021. She continued with Consolation (2022) before pushing her writing and arrangements even further on Saisons (2024), a concept album imagined as a kind of modern little opera built around the twelve months of the year.

Her songs explore love, vulnerability, anxiety, grief, but also queer, feminist and ecological issues, always with great delicacy. On stage, Pomme often performs in a stripped-back setup, leaving space for the voice, the lyrics and the silence between the notes – a minimal format that creates a rare sense of closeness with the audience.
