The challenge is coming to an end: after having promised to publish 11 albums in 1111 days, she has just launched discs number 8 and 9. Lynda Lemay keeps up the pace. We are hardly surprised: she published an album on average every two years before embarking on her big project and most offered more than 15 songs. It was therefore known to be prolific.
Critically incorrect (bad taste and bad experiences) brings together 11 songs with sometimes humorous text where Lynda Lemay dares to have a more runny tone. There are pieces of harmless irony like the one where she lists the habits of each other at the table (There is no one who eats the same) and this other which is in fact a sort of bestiary of bad body odors (Nausea… oh well).
But on this “incorrect” disc, the author also tackles hard subjects. Air ducts speaks of child abuse with genuine horror. Confession of a Narcissist portrays these personalities who rot the lives of others and only repent when it is too late. Red string evokes another drama involving a child, without saying everything, but without taking too many detours either.
Lynda Lemay stays true to herself: she sometimes leaves too little room for the imagination and doesn’t dare enough in terms of the arrangements, quite conventional, which we can however understand given the pace of production that she imposed herself. However, it must also be recognized that she is not lacking in inspiration and self-mockery, that she is a skilful portrait painter and that she also masters the art of giving the impression of talking about one thing in order to say one. other (Milking cow). And then, Lynda Lemay has an essential talent when telling a story: the sense of the fall.
