Mara Tremblay reshared the video, thanking Karl “for all the love shared.” “We had dinner together just three weeks ago,” she wrote on Facebook. You wanted to hear new songs from me, I didn’t have time to write them before you left, but I promise, you’ll hear them from where you are. »
The rapper Koriass, for his part, recounted the genesis of Supernovathe musical piece he built on the song Shooting Stars. He recounted the immediate enthusiasm of the members of the group towards his idea and this “privilege” of having been able to share the stage with Karl Tremblay.
The words of Shooting Stars take on their full meaning for Koriass today. “You will have made a brief but very significant appearance in mine, Karl,” he wrote to the deceased musician. You gave me the gas I needed to try to enter the hearts of the world with my music just as you entered the hearts of Quebec as a whole, mine included. »
