The big winner of the 2020 edition of The voice, Josiane Comeau, will present her first album at the end of the year. She promises a pop-style project with her own lyrics and compositions.
At the time of winning La Voix in 2020, the one who only uses her first name when she goes on stage did not touch the lyrics or the musical compositions of her songs, and it was a country album that she wanted to present to his audience .
Three years later, it is finally a pop album with echoes of Adèle and Taylor Swift, containing their lyrics and compositions, which will hopefully be released at the end of 2023.
The Journal spoke with the lead prospect on Tuesday while she was in France to meet the team at her new outfit, Parlophone France, a division of Warner Music.
“During La Voix I became interested in writing and composing; So I decided all alone, in prison, to develop these facets and it became a passion,” says Josiane. “I’ve always had a lot of freedom in my style, I loved country, but I’m very happy to find myself in pop,” she then notes.
His beginnings in France
Just a few minutes after her first appearance on French soil, as part of an evening intended to introduce the new faces of the Parlophone France label, the young singer from New Brunswick noticed that her Chiac-accented French accent appealed to the French.
“I’m so welcome, the people here [en France] “They seem to love Franglais,” she says happily. “They’re also very interested in my New Brunswick accent, even though I sometimes have to change a few words in interviews because people don’t understand me as well,” she says with a laugh.
Josiane performed two songs for her new European audience, one of which was “Lose it All,” her latest single.
“This song had been ready for a while, but when I started working with Parolophone, we reworked it a little before presenting it,” she explains.
The music video for Lose it All is available on the singer’s YouTube channel.
A doctorate with it?
Even though her musical career will soon reach new heights, Josiane has no plans to abandon her medical studies. The one, now in her second year at the University of Moncton, believes she has worked too hard to give up that part of her life.
“I study on the plane, I organize myself to do a little in the evening or at night; I work hard and feel valued in this field,” she explains, adding that music is something much more innate. “Music is a part of me, so both areas allow me to be balanced; When I study, I don’t think about music and vice versa.”
Two years before her doctorate, it’s not the workload that annoys Josiane, but the fact that there are only 24 hours in a day.
“I’m incapable of not giving 100% when I’m doing something,” she claims. “I sometimes find it difficult not being able to fully devote myself to both areas at the same time due to time constraints.”
