Myriam Bouk Moun Turns Deception Into Vocal Alchemy on “Un Autre Mensonge”

Paris-based singer-songwriter Myriam Bouk Moun takes an inventive vocal approach on “Un Autre Mensonge,” creating an a cappella piece that feels both delicate and strikingly complex. Myriam herself performs every vocal line, allowing layered harmonies and an unusual time signature to become the song’s central instruments. The French lyrics examine how deception gradually wears down a romantic relationship, initially maintaining an elegant emotional distance before turning inward. Her eclectic musical world, shaped by African rhythms, polyphonies, jazz, scat, Italian ballads, and Renaissance madrigals adds remarkable character to the performance. “Un Autre Mensonge” is sophisticated, intimate, and an impressive showcase of vocal artistry.
