Alain Chabat, French actor, director and presenter, invited Delilah and flew her to Paris last month to perform her track War on Women, which she wrote and produced at home.
She performed in front of a live audience, to be aired as part of ten special broadcasts on TF1, France’s biggest TV channel, starting on 21 November until the beginning of December. The date of Delilah’s appearance is still to be confirmed.
The Late Show with Alain Chabat has the iconic US décor of a desk, a sofa and a background view of night time Paris. Live music is featured on each show and the 25 year old hip hop artist is one of 10 special musical guests invited to perform.
Alain discovered Delilah’s music through one of her Tik Tok videos and brought her in as part of his aim to spotlight emerging artists alongside more prominent international performers.
Delilah Bon is an independent musician who writes, performs and produces all her own music, blending hip-hop and rap and nu-metal with a strong feminist stance that underpins all of her work. She recently completed her debut 11 date UK headline tour.
“It’s been such a surreal experience,” Delilah says. “I’ve performed in front of thousands of people over the years at gigs and festivals but performing in front of a live TV audience was a totally different experience. Knowing my performance will be streamed into millions of homes in a few weeks is just incredible; it’s something I have always dreamed of and an amazing opportunity.”
“The Delilah Bon persona unleashes a whole new level of clever, sarcastic, empathetic, and righteously angry lyrics, offering help to those that need it and a firm middle finger to the rest. The living embodiment of the DIY attitude. As Huggy Bear yelled back in the 90s ‘this is happening without your permission’ …” LOUDER THAN WAR
“We could have dedicated part of this review to all the topics and facets of feminism Delilah tackles on her record but, honestly, what’s the point? We’ll never do it as powerfully as she does, so instead, here’s an instruction: PUT THE ALBUM ON! And know it was made by a boss babe who literally made everything you can see and hear, and know that you’re just as much of a boss babe as she is …” BITTERSWEET PRESS
