Marseille-based TESSÆ is an upcoming artist on the French music scene. She moves somewhere halfway pop princess Angèle and urban acts like Damso.

Only 19 years old, she deals with a grown-up subject on her new single Salope (French for ‘bitch’). It’s about women being harassed by men in public spaces. Since rejecting the advances might evoke aggressiveness, it’s better not to look around, but to just walk on, TESSÆ pleads.

Salope is the first single off her forthcoming EP Été (‘summer’), which follows the EP Printemps (‘spring’). With a nod to Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, the singer’s third and fourth EP in this series will be titled Automne (‘autumn’) and Hiver (‘winter’).
