[Critique] “Apollo Lovely”, Apollo Lovely

A decade ago, the future looked bright for Montreal pop-rock band Creature, propelled by the success of their debut album No Sleep at All which made him radiate beyond our borders… until his company lost interest in the project. With Apollo Lovely, the co-founder of Creature, Kim Ho, takes his revenge, self-launching a first album that has all the good ingredients of the late group: a sense of melody-hook, orchestrations (here more pop than rock or new-wave) refined. With the bonus of a tenderness that we discover with happiness: How Many Dayssweet rhythm and blues tones set with Hammond B3, and don’t go, at the end of the album, can be listened to on a loop on hot days. Funk remains a primary color on the palette of the singer-songwriter, who displays it in catch memore sparingly on Halfway and Next to You in opening. Expert and light song which, we hope, will have a long life.
