After his takeover of Orelsan in 2019, his rewriting of Kid by Eddy de Pretto in 2020 or even her mini-album in 2021, Barbara Pravi unveiled her traditional song for International Women’s Rights Day. This year it is a Prayer for yourself in which the singer invokes her inner “warrior” “for the days when the immense loneliness will be there in [son] body and in [son] heart “.
“Because this year my life changed overnight, it was just as grandiose and sublime as it was terrifying and morally hard, I wrote the Prayer for yourselfshe explains in description of the video of the song posted on on Youtube. To never forget in moments of sadness that the warrior in me has seen others, and that she can recover from anything. Of all the injustices. »
“This prayer is for all those whose voice of the warrior resounds within”
In the 4 minute and 30 second clip that accompanies the song, Barbara Pravi also pays homage “to the women who inspire her”: the “women of [son] day-to-day “. “To illustrate this new prayer, I invite you to meet the warriors of my daily life. Those I see acting, living, those I admire. Those who exist for real, here, now, and who fight, with themselves and others, to be respected, fair, upright, proud,” she wrote.
“They are singers, musicians, actresses, managers, DA [directrices artistiques], journalists, stylists, nurses, physiotherapists, teachers, lawyers, doctors, producers, bosses, shrinks, writers, guide, shepherdess, retired, at school or not even yet, it doesn’t matter. They have all traveled through my lives. They are from my family, or they are my friends, from childhood or later, ”she continues before listing their first names.
Women who appear in Barbara Pravi’s clip, where we recognize well-known faces such as singers Julie Zenatti, Clou and November Ultra or even actress Golshifteh Farahani.
“This prayer is for them, and also for all those whose voice of the warrior resounds within. This voice that picks me up every time I fall, reminds me why I do things, gives me strength, light and hope. The most powerful voice of all”, concludes the author, composer and performer.
