Our album reviews of the week

Crash Heart : Sing love loudly

“ Eddy de Pretto announced this album by ensuring that it is not there to “caress your fur tenderly”. However, he also said it clearly, this record is a “love album”. His name is not Crash Heart for nothing. We feel the heart, we feel the crash: the words are often tender and sometimes very hard, the productions are sometimes gentle, but above all they are impactful,” writes our journalist Marissa Groguhé.

Lonely Hearts Club : New name, known recipe

“Despite past successes and his notoriety, the artist decided to reinvent himself under the name Yes*. It must be admitted that Lonely Hearts Club (CCS), first offering of its new identity, did not completely convince us,” writes our journalist Pascal Leblanc.

Rockstar : Dolly rocks in the mold

“Inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame after decades of singing mostly country, Dolly Parton delivers Rockstar to prove she can rock. It’s true, but that’s not enough,” writes our journalist Alexandre Vigneault.

Unbelievable day : It’s time to discover Barrdo

“Barrdo has refined his writing over the years, the author’s experience is evident. And to accompany his mature lyrics, guitar, organ and drums make up the first instrumental trio. The author-composer, a lover of classical arrangements, also treats himself to the sounds of violin and cello coming from the bows of the Lunes quartet,” writes our journalist Philippe Beauchemin.

Overwhelmed : His soul on the microphone

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