Forget What You Know About the Evil Eye—Mauvais Œil Is Flipping the Script.
Traditionally seen as a symbol of misfortune, the evil eye has haunted countless legends and rituals. But for Mauvais Œil—the magnetic musical duo of Sarah and Alexis—it’s not a curse. It’s a creative manifesto. Their name is a wink, not a warning—a promise to cast light instead of shadows, weaving music that connects, soothes, and stirs the soul.
Together, they’re pure alchemy. Alexis, a classically trained multi-instrumentalist, brings cinematic depth and precision. Sarah, raw and self-taught, channels the kind of emotion you can’t learn—only live. Raised in a working-class family where music pulsed through everyday life, she now takes center stage, using her voice as both story and statement.
Their sound is a love letter to a generation that refuses to be boxed in—fluid, fearless, and gloriously genreless. It’s pop, yes—but pop reimagined. Bold, borderless, and rooted in something real.
Sarah’s voice is a revelation: sweeping, melismatic, and unmistakably hers. It moves from the smoky soul of R’n’B icons to the slow-burning elegance of Arabic divas like Warda. Singing in Darija, she pays homage to her Algerian roots, layering each track with a bittersweet nostalgia reminiscent of Cheb Hasni’s raï ballads and the emotional depth of chanson legends like Aznavour.
Mauvais Œil doesn’t just blur musical lines—they erase them. What’s left is something entirely new: pop that’s global, grounded, and glowing with memory, movement, and meaning.
