“It’s a beautiful day I think,” Alex Pic

Alexandre Picard emerges under a diminutive name, which takes nothing away from the guy from Abitibi: he released his first full solo album on the 1st^er September at the Emerging Music Festival was not an easy solution either. Rather an achievement: he had to free himself from the local group Lubik, go through the ordeal of the acoustic mini-album in 2022, to arrive at this finally convincing proof of existence. “We deserve each other,” he says in the first track, between funk and folk. Undeniably. Lawless is energetic pop-rock, Anyway slides his notes on the back like George Harrison from 1970, Favor is unabashedly electro, the melody of Only the real thing reassures us. And it continues like this, always pop at its core, but declined in all ways and on all rhythms. To have before to be hurries to reach the destination, almost disco in the speedboat, while I will be fine goes with the flow. Hubby boy lets himself be sung without any particular aim, while Leo runs to the singer’s rescue. They’re called variety. You have to dare, in these niche days.
