Indila (born Adila Sedraïa on June 26, 1984) is a French singer-songwriter known for her soulful voice, poetic lyrics, and unique fusion of French chanson, pop, and world music influences. She gained international fame with her debut single “Dernière Danse” in 2013, a hauntingly beautiful song that showcases her signature melancholic style and deeply emotional storytelling.
Released as part of her debut album “Mini World” (2014), Dernière Danse became a massive hit across Europe and beyond, topping charts in France, Belgium, and several other countries. The song’s poignant lyrics, combined with its cinematic production, resonated with millions, solidifying Indila as a standout voice in contemporary French music.
Despite her success, Indila has maintained a mysterious and private persona, rarely making public appearances. After the release of Mini World, which went triple platinum in France, she took an extended hiatus from music, leaving fans eagerly awaiting new material. In 2019, she returned with the single “Parle à ta tête”, sparking hope for more music in the future.
Her ethereal voice and poetic storytelling continue to captivate listeners worldwide, making her one of the most enigmatic and beloved French artists of her generation.
