Chimène Badi - Gospel & Soul, La Voix Et L'ame

Radiant-Bellevue welcomes Chimène Badi for Gospel & Soul – La Voix et l’Âme

At Radiant-Bellevue, we take pride in hosting voices that move audiences beyond the walls of a concert hall, and Chimène Badi belongs firmly to that lineage. With a career that has matured in step with the expectations of a public that values sincerity, color, and power, she arrives with Gospel & Soul – La Voix et l’Âme to explore the music that has long underpinned her own path. Her recent artistic momentum has been striking: the anniversary journey of Entre nous 20 ans reminded listeners of the heartfelt storytelling that launched her, while the project Chimène Badi chante Piaf showcased her command of timeless repertoire, with luminous versions of “L’hymne à l’amour,” “La vie en rose,” and “Non, je ne regrette rien.” Alongside that, the emotional reach of “Là-haut” continues to resonate with audiences who first embraced her as a pop and chanson voice but now admire her ambition to fuse that identity with the warmth and uplift of gospel and the velvet grit of classic soul.

What to expect at Radiant-Bellevue

For this date at Radiant-Bellevue, we have shaped the stage to put the voice—and its communal echo—at the center. Gospel & Soul – La Voix et l’Âme is conceived as an immersion in groove, harmony, and testimony. Expect richly layered backing vocals, a rhythm section ready to shift from hushed prayer to jubilant release, and arrangements that let Chimène Badi’s timbre rise unhurried, then soar. The set draws a meaningful thread between reverent spiritual energy and the confessional pulse of soul, while allowing space for the artist’s own milestones to surface in new light. When she leans into a melody like “Là-haut,” the phrasing is recast through the lens of call-and-response; when she nods to chanson, the gospel colors add grain and glow. Our acoustics have been tailored to carry both intimacy and power, so whether a song begins with a whisper or a handclap, the room breathes with it. Lighting at Radiant-Bellevue will frame the performance in warm ambers and deep blues, underscoring a journey that moves from contemplation to collective celebration without losing its focus on narrative truth.

As a venue, we also savor the chance to present Chimène Badi at a moment when her artistic news is as vibrant as her stagecraft. The ripple effect of Entre nous 20 ans has brought longtime admirers back into the fold, while new listeners have discovered the range she affirmed on Chimène Badi chante Piaf, where interpretations of “L’hymne à l’amour” and “Non, je ne regrette rien” revealed a storyteller attentive to silence as much as sound. Gospel & Soul – La Voix et l’Âme extends that evolution: it is not a departure but an unveiling, aligning her natural interpretive strength with repertoire that privileges sincerity, uplift, and rhythmic pulse. In our hall, that means a program built to feel alive in the moment—sections that invite the audience to hum along, verses that ask for quiet listening, and crescendos that fill the air with communal energy. We look forward to welcoming fans who cherish “Là-haut” and those who were moved by her recent Piaf tributes, all united by the promise of hearing a singular voice connect chanson, soul, and the spirit of gospel on the Radiant-Bellevue stage.
