DUBAI: French Algerian singer and songwriter Lolo Zouai has announced she will release a new single titled “3AM in San Francisco” on Nov. 6.

She shared on her Instagram Stories that the song is now available for pre-save. This marks the music sensation’s first release of the year.

Zouai captioned her post, “time to hit em with the bilingual,” hinting that the track features lyrics in English and French.

In 2024, Zouai dropped several tracks, including her “Please Hold” EP featuring “jetlag” and “UNHHH,” along with “mute” and “Potential.”

In June last year, she also announced that she had written a song for K-pop group NewJeans for their Japanese debut.

She captioned the post at the time: “‘Right Now’ by @newjeans_official out now!! Written by me. I’ve been a fan of NewJeans for a while and I’m honored to be a part of their Japanese debut!

“Also sang some background vocals on this one. Shoutout the incredible @freerangeneighborkid, we had so much fun writing in Korea last summer. I (love) this song and these girls.”

Known for her blend of R&B, club-pop and hip-hop, she has gained an international fan base for her dynamic stage presence and genre-blending music.

Her career highlights include the release of a debut album “High Highs to Low Lows” in 2019, which featured 12 tracks, and a follow-up “PLAYGIRL” in 2022, which included 13 tracks.

After the album’s release in October 2022, Zouai was featured on a billboard in New York’s Times Square.

She shared a video of herself posing in front of the billboard with fans. “I always said that one day, I would be on a billboard in Times Square. Today is that day,” she said in the short clip.

“Manifestation and hard work works,” she added.

The singer, who lives between Brooklyn and Los Angeles, embarked on a 30-stop tour for the album in 2023. The tour featured cities in the US, France, Canada, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.

DUBAI: Anerican actor David Corenswet, best known for his portrayal of the title role in James Gunn’s “Superman,” is the latest Hollywood star to sign the “Film Workers for Palestine” pledge, joining a growing list of Hollywood figures expressing solidarity with Palestinians.

The pledge, launched on Sept. 8, calls on members of the entertainment industry to avoid collaborating with Israeli film institutions allegedly linked to “genocide and apartheid.” 

Among the signatories are Mark Ruffalo, Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, Tilda Swinton, Riz Ahmed, and Javier Bardem.

“As filmmakers, actors, film industry workers, and institutions, we recognise the power of cinema to shape perceptions,” the pledge, launched on Sept. 8, stated.

“In this urgent moment of crisis, where many of our governments are enabling the carnage in Gaza, we must do everything we can to address complicity in that unrelenting horror,” it added.

Film-makers Yorgos Lanthimos, Ava DuVernay, Asif Kapadia, Boots Riley and Joshua Oppenheimer also joined the signatories.

The statement, published by Film Workers for Palestine, commits signatories not to collaborate with institutions deemed complicit — including festivals, broadcasters and production companies — citing examples such as “whitewashing or justifying genocide and apartheid, and/or partnering with the government committing them.”

It continued: “We answer the call of Palestinian film-makers, who have urged the international film industry to refuse silence, racism, and dehumanization, as well as to ‘do everything humanly possible’ to end complicity in their oppression.”
