On N'enferme Pas Les Oiseaux is the debut full-length album from French singer Barbara Pravi, released on 27 August 2021 on CD and digital download, and 8 October 2021 on vinyl, through Capitol Music France. The album title translates from French to English as You Don't Lock Up Birds, which Pravi stated is "because nothing is more majestic than the spreading of one's own wings".[3]
Background[]
After releasing singles and an extended play with Jules Jaconelli on Capitol Music France in 2017, Pravi switched direction to French chanson music, which was 'more to her own taste'.[4]
In 2021, Pravi's song "Voilà", composed alongside Igit and Lilie Poe, was chosen to represent France in the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 in Rotterdam.[5] She finished in second place, scoring 499 points, thereby achieving France's best Eurovision result since 1991.
Following the contest, Pravi continued to work with Elodie Filleu and Jérémie Arcache on her debut full-length album, continuing to write with Igit and Poe, who co-wrote "Voilà", as well as Vincha and Arcache. Two further music videos were released after "Voilà", to create a triptych of videos before the album's release; "Le Jour Se Lève" and "L'Homme et L'Oiseau".[3]
