“Nouveau Monde” : Solijah entre héritage reggae et regard sur l’époque

Solijah présente “Nouveau Monde”, un titre extrait de son EP Remove Ya, sorti le 12 novembre 2025. Artiste indépendant issu de la scène reggae rouennaise, il construit son identité musicale au fil des concerts de proximité et des sound systems. Passionné par la culture jamaïcaine, il développe progressivement un univers mêlant new roots et influences hip-hop. Son approche se veut fidèle aux fondations du reggae tout en s’adressant à une nouvelle génération d’auditeurs.

Son parcours prend une première ampleur en 2018 avec la sortie de son EP L’Étincelle, qui attire l’attention des amateurs de reggae francophone. Cette reconnaissance lui ouvre les portes de plusieurs scènes et festivals locaux. L’année suivante, il est nommé aux Victoires du Reggae dans la catégorie révélation de l’année. En 2024, sa participation à un vinyle produit par Naturalness, diffusé par différents sound systems en France et en Europe, confirme sa place dans le paysage reggae indépendant.

Le projet Remove Ya s’inspire du film culte Rockers, sorti en 1978, que Solijah considère comme un condensé de l’ADN du reggae. À travers sept morceaux, l’artiste revisite cet héritage pour y intégrer des thématiques actuelles. Le titre “Lamoney”, par exemple, met en parallèle la quête d’argent et ses paradoxes, en écho au personnage principal du film contraint de s’endetter pour travailler. Le nom du projet, “Remove Ya”, fait référence à une réplique emblématique de Dirty Harry dans le film, devenant ici une invitation symbolique au changement.

L’hommage se poursuit également sur le plan visuel. Pour la pochette de l’EP, Solijah recrée une scène emblématique du film, en réunissant accessoires et décors inspirés de l’époque. Fidèle à l’esprit de débrouille propre à la culture reggae, cette mise en scène privilégie l’ingéniosité plutôt que les moyens spectaculaires. Le morceau “Nouveau Monde” s’inscrit dans cette démarche globale, où l’héritage musical dialogue avec les préoccupations contemporaines.

Avec “Nouveau Monde” et l’EP Remove Ya, Solijah affirme une vision du reggae ancrée dans ses racines tout en regardant vers l’avenir. L’artiste poursuit ainsi une démarche indépendante nourrie par la culture sound system et l’héritage jamaïcain. Une manière pour lui de prolonger l’esprit du reggae tout en le confrontant aux enjeux d’aujourd’hui.

"Nature knows best: Naturalness in the Ultra-Processed Foods Debate"

A nice and very nuanced podcast presentation about #UPF #foodProcessing #processedFoods #ultraprocessedFood #plantBased #corporations #naturalness

<💬>
The idea that more natural food – food which hasn’t been transformed by human and industrial intervention – is best for us is a powerful one. Psychologists have found a strong preference for that which is “natural”, even when people differ in what they understand that term to mean. But naturalness is a muddle – we are often signalled by advertising to see heavily manufactured foods as “natural”; the pioneers of cereal manufacturing were the greatest advocates of “natural” food in the early 20th century; and it’s rare that crops, which have been manipulated by human breeding over millennia, are seen as “unnatural”.

If naturalness is a slippery idea, though, it is still undeniably compelling. At the moment, nowhere is the preference for naturalness when it comes to the food we eat more prevalent than in concerns expressed over ultra-processed foods (UPFs). But does the idea that naturalness is inherently best set up a misleading dichotomy between nature and technology that doesn’t serve the interests of a more sustainable and equitable food future? Does a narrow focus on processing itself misplace bigger questions of power and agency on the one hand, and unhelpfully dismiss scientific techniques on the other? We explore these questions in our latest explainer, Nature Knows Best? Naturalness in the Ultra-Processed Foods Debate.
