Zazie's mother was an architect and her father a music teacher. Her songs range from upbeat rock or pop songs to languid downtempo tunes and are characterised by the wit of their lyrics based on puns, alliterations, homophones and double-entendres.
Zazie debuted in 1992 with the album "Je Tu Ils" and the single "Sucré salé".
In 1995, she released her sophomore album Zen, which was co-written and co-produced with Vincent-Marie Bouvot. It included the singles "Zen" and "Homme Sweet Homme". Her 1996 single "Un point c'est toi" from the same album was discussed on Canada's MuchMusic TV program Too Much 4 Much due to its controversial content. Ultimately, the discussion panel deemed the video okay for audiences. In the video, a group of four smitten women, including Zazie, follow a pair of men down to a lake. There, the two men strip off their clothes and swim in the water. Zazie fantasizes about undressing one of the men and kissing him. To shock of the women, however, the two men kiss each other.
In 1997, Pascal Obispo and Zazie released the single "Les Meilleurs Ennemis".
Her 1998 album Made in Love was co-produced by Ali Staton, Pierre Jaconelli, and herself. The album photos were taken by fashion designer Jean-Baptiste Mondino. The songs "Ça Fait Mal Et Ça Fait Rien", "Tous des anges", and "Tout Le Monde" were released as singles. This album was followed by a live album, Made in Live, the next year. In 1999 she also wrote a song for Jane Birkin in Jane Birkin's album .
In 2001, Zazie dueted with Axel Bauer on the single "A Ma Place". It was her most successful single in France, reaching number four on the French charts.
Zazie once again addressed gay content on her 2002 single "Adam et Yves" from her 2001 album La Zizanie. This album was produced solely by Pierre Jaconelli. Other singles included "Rue de la paix" and "Danse avec les loops". In 2003, she released another live album, Ze Live.
Her 2004 album Rodéo was co-produced and co-written with Jean-Pierre Pilot and Philippe Paradis. A short film "Rodéo indien" was made using songs from the album as a soundtrack. Zazie played the role of an Indian woman who leaves her cheating husband. She followed this album up with a live album, Rodéo Tour in 2006.
In 2007 her sixth studio album "Totem" was released and debuted at number 1. The second single (but first commercially released) was "Je Suis Un Homme" which became Zazie's first solo top ten hit in France. In Winter 2008 a best of album "Zest of Zazie" was released which as well as past hits contained two new songs "Fm Air" and "Un peu beaucoup" and live recordings.

Zazie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Ça fait des mois, des mois que tu hibernes
Que tu sors pas de ta caverne
T'as beau tout faire pour le cacher
Sous tes airs d'ours mal léché
Tu vibres encore
Tu vibres encore
Je te sens battre au fond de moi
T'es pas tout neuf, mais pas si vieux
Non, t'es flambant vieux
Et tu speedes encore
Oui, tu speedes encore
Réveille-toi, fais pas le mort
L'univers ne s'arrête pas
Parce qu'on n'a plus voulu de toi
Allez hop
Tu es libre alors
Oui, libre encore
Allez, quitte ce corps sage
Bats plus vite que ton âge
Sors de ta cage
Allez hop
Speed encore
Speed encore
Bats, mon cœur
Cogne et sors
De ce corps
Allez hop
Speed encore
Speed encore
Bats, mon cœur
Et sors
De ce corps
Allez hop
Speed encore
Mon cœur, sors
Sors
De ce corps
Allez hop
Allez hop
Speed encore
Allez hop
Allez hop
Allez hop
Allez hop
Allez hop
Allez hop- La
song "Speed" by Zazie portrays a message of encouragement to a person who has been slumbering and hiding from the world for a long time. The lyrics reminisce about how long the person has been asleep and makes a plea to them to wake up again. The singer tries to convince the slumbering person to come out of their shell and out of their cave where they have been hiding and return to being the energetic, vibrant and young at heart person they used to be. Zazie uses the phrase "speed encore" which is the French equivalent of "keep going" or "keep moving forward" to encourage the person to strive to be the best version of themselves.
The lyrics of "Speed" are an homage to vitality and renewing one's energy. The phrase "flambant vieux" used in the song means "damned old", but with a sense of endearment. The song suggests that despite the onset of old age, one can still keep up a youthful and enthusiastic spirit. The line "sors de ta cage" which translates to "get out of your cage" is a metaphor for stepping out of limitations and restrictions that keep one confined and stagnant.
One interesting fact about the song "Speed" is that it was released as part of Zazie's seventh album "Totem" in 2007 and produced by Philippe Paradis, with a video directed by François Hanss. The song was performed live during Zazie's "Totem" tour, which took place from 2007-2009. The music video features Zazie driving her car at a high speed through a cityscape while delivering the song's message of breaking free and living life to the fullest. The album version of "Speed" features additional vocals from Keren Ann and Claire Keim.

Je viens de lire votre témoignage.
Il est touchant et rempli d'humilité.
Ies souffrances et les maux font partie de nos vies.
C'est pour cela que l'amour doit prendre le pouvoir sur nos existences . Il est le seul a nous sortir de notre isolement qui est le résultat de nos peurs lié dans la société dans laquelle nous vivons.
L'indifférence et l'incompréhension.
Le monde est polluer et obscurci.
C'est le mal qui gouverne et qui aveugle la plus part des êtres qui font partie de se bas monde.
Seul les personnes qui trouveront refuge dans l'amour et le partage trouveront le repos car vivre c'est aimer son prochain et lui apporter toute son attention. Donner c'est recevoir et mettre en lumière le fondement de la vie.
L'amour alors sera le seul vainqueur.
Le bonheur est au bout du chemin.
