Crash Coeur: Singing Love Loud
“Eddy de Pretto announced this album by making sure that it is not intended to “tenderly stroke your fur”. However, he also clearly stated that this record was a “love album”. It’s called Crash Heart for a reason. We feel the heart, we feel the fall: the words are often tender and sometimes very hard, the productions are sometimes gentle, but above all they are effective,” writes our journalist Marissa Groguhé.

“Despite his past successes and notoriety, the artist decided to reinvent himself under the name Yes*. We have to admit that we were not completely convinced by Club des Cœurs Solitaires (CCS), the first offering of its new identity,” writes our journalist Pascal Leblanc.

“Dolly Parton was inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame after decades of singing mostly country music. With “Rockstar” she proves that she can rock. That’s true, but it’s not enough,” writes our journalist Alexandre Vigneault.

“Barrdo has refined his writing over the years, the author’s experience is evident. And to accompany his mature lyrics, guitar, organ and drums form the first instrumental trio. The author and composer, a lover of classical arrangements, also indulges in the sounds of violin and cello that come from the bows of the Lunes Quartet,” writes our journalist Philippe Beauchemin.

“Roxane Bruneau’s secret weapon, as we know, is her authenticity. “Submerged”, her third album in six years, still speaks of her fragilities, but also shows that she is more confident than ever,” writes our journalist Alexandre Vigneault.
