Miki Releases Debut Album 'Industry Plant' as Graou Tour Kicks Off

The 26-year-old Franco‑Korean turns a past 'industry plant' slur into a statement of authorship through stark, diary‑born pop‑rap.

Overview

  • Industry Plant arrives on October 3, with the Graou Tour launching the same day and an Olympia date in Paris set for October 10.
  • Early coverage from France Inter and Le Point is strongly positive, positioning the record as a standout francophone pop debut.
  • By titling the album Industry Plant, Miki reclaims the online accusation and reframes it as an ironic artistic banner.
  • Fourteen autobiographical tracks mined from personal journals confront trauma, depression and digital harassment with a hybrid pop, rap and electronic palette.
  • Miki is a Franco‑Korean artist trained in piano and violin who broke out with the 2024 EP Graou, with Tristan Salvati contributing hooks and melodies on the album.
