After a chance meeting with an aspiring singer/songwriter, she managed to secure some studio time in Elton John's Rocket Studios, and, after hearing what she could do, she was subsequently picked up by Elton's management company Rocket Music. Anne-Marie released a demo in 2013 entitled Summer Girl, which drew some attention to the singer, most notably garnering a fan in Ed Sheeran. Despite the encouraging start to her solo career, things were put on hold to give her more time to develop as an artist.
Having guested on tracks by dubstep supergroup Magnetic Man, London-based garage duo Gorgon City, and progressive house trio Raized by Wolves, Anne-Marie caught the attention of Brit and MOBO award winners Rudimental. She was featured alongside Dizzee Rascal and Will Heard on two tracks from their second album, 2015's We the Generation, and spent two years touring with the band, playing some of the world's biggest stages and best-known festivals.
The summer of that year also saw the release of Anne-Marie's debut EP on Rudimental's then-new record label, Major Tom's. The aptly titled Karate EP featured three tracks and a Chloe Martini remix, and producers Josh Record and Two Inch Punch worked with her on the record. Both the lead single "Karate," a slick fusion of electro-grime and R&B, and the follow-up "Gemini," garnered some very positive reviews and led Anne-Marie to gigging as a solo artist. In early 2016, the single "Do It Right" reached the U.K. charts, and several months later "Alarm" hit the Top 40 in several charts around the world.
In 2017, Anne-Marie scored a hit single when she featured on Clean Bandit's multi-platinum "Rockabye" with Sean Paul. The song topped the charts across Europe and in Australia, breaking into the Top Ten in Canada and the U.S. She followed with the solo singles "Ciao Adios" and "Heavy," which both charted in the U.K. and Ireland. Both tracks appeared on her debut full-length, Speak Your Mind, which saw release in April 2018. The record also featured the track "Friends," written and recorded with American dance producer Marshmello.
Ooh La La
Anne-Marie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
C'est si beau
Ton corps
Glissant sur ma peau
Chaud
Que c'est chaud
Ta bouche
Long
Oh, c'est long
Le temps
Du dernier frisson
Froid
Qu'il est froid
Ce silence
Qui grelotte en moi
Au bout de la nuit
Sans vie, je m'enfuis
Au bout de l'envie
Tout meurt sans cri
(Dam, dadadam, dadadadadam)
(Dam, dadadam, dadadadadam)
(Dam, dadadam, dadadadadam, dadam)
(Dam, dadadam, dadadadadam)
(Dam, dadadam, dadadadadam)
(Dam, dadadam, dadadadadam, dadam)
Chut
Tout est vide
Tout est ride
Suicide
Je t'aime
Oh, je t'aime
Sans toi
Il me reste quoi?
Au bout de la nuit
Sans vie, je m'enfuis
Au bout de l'envie
Tout meurt sans cri
(Dam, dadadam, dadadadadam)
(Dam, dadadam, dadadadadam)
(Dam, dadadam, dadadadadam, dadam)
Je t'aime
Au bout de la nuit
Sans vie, je m'enfuis
Au bout de l'envie
Tout meurt sans cri
Au bout de la nuit
Sans vie, je m'enfuis
Au bout de l'envie
Tout meurt sans cri
The lyrics of Anne-Marie's song "Ooh La La" delve into the complexities of a passionate and intense romantic relationship, exploring themes of desire, longing, and ultimately loss. The opening verses paint a vivid picture of physical intimacy and emotional connection between two individuals. The imagery of "Ton corps glissant sur ma peau" (Your body sliding on my skin) and "Ta bouche soufflant sur mes mots" (Your mouth blowing on my words) evokes a sense of sensuality and closeness. The words "Beau" (Beautiful) and "Chaud" (Hot) further emphasize the intensity and warmth of the connection being described.
As the lyrics progress, the mood shifts to one of contemplation and introspection. The mention of time passing and the fading of the last shiver ("Le temps du dernier frisson") hints at the transient nature of love and the inevitable cooling off of passion. The contrast between the warmth of earlier verses and the coldness of silence that "grelotte en moi" (shivers within me) symbolizes a sense of emptiness and detachment that starts to creep in.
The chorus of the song serves as a poignant reflection on the fragility of relationships and the emptiness that can follow intense moments of connection. The repetition of the lines "Au bout de la nuit / Sans vie, je m'enfuis / Au bout de l'envie / Tout meurt sans cri" (At the end of the night / Lifeless, I flee / At the end of desire / Everything dies without a scream) conveys a sense of despair and resignation, as the singer grapples with the fading passion and emotional distance in the relationship.
In the final verses, the lyrics take a darker turn, with the mention of emptiness, wrinkles ("Tout est vide / Tout est ride"), and suicide. These lines suggest a deep sense of despair and hopelessness, as the singer questions the meaning of love and existence without their partner. The repeated declaration of "Je t'aime" (I love you) throughout the song juxtaposed with the feelings of loss and emptiness highlights the paradoxical nature of love and its ability to both uplift and devastate. The song ends on a melancholic note, with the singer fleeing into the night, leaving behind a sense of emotional turmoil and unspoken grief.
