We hoped, this public recording of the tour The King, the Rose and the Lou[p]. It would indeed have been a shame if no trace remained of this happening created at the Francos two years ago by Lou-Adriane Cassidy, Thierry Larose and Ariane Roy, which the three artist-friends have been showing all over Quebec since one year and which will end definitively at the end of the summer.
Lou-Adriane Cassidy, Thierry Larose and Ariane Roy know their classics. They claim to be responsible for the large gatherings that were 1×5 And I saw the wolf, the fox, the lion, which entered history among other things thanks to the vinyls that were made from them. It is certainly too early to say whether this one will make an epoch in the same way, but the new milestone that has been set deserves to reach as many people as possible.
So, if the album allows people who saw the show to recall excellent memories, others can certainly feel the immense dose of energy that these three distilled without sparing themselves and that the public gave them. well rendered. Above all, it is the opportunity to taste a brilliant, intoxicating, poetic repertoire, which draws on the roots of what we can call “Quebec song”, but which is completely modern and connected to language and sensitivity. From now.
Recorded during different performances of the show, these ten songs – three per artist, plus the studio version of their theme song/earworm – which they share and exchange and perform with passion and emotion, indeed bear witness to a stunning vitality.
Beyond their undeniable relevance, between the extended rock version of The island at 25 cents by Thierry Larose, the dazzlingness of Girl to wear of Ariane Roy and the almost unbearable sweetness of Okay okay by Lou-Adriane Cassidy, there is also a musical freedom which can be heard perhaps even more than on their respective albums. “We don’t care, we live for the music”, they sing in their theme song, and it is this joyful and communicative passion that we feel from one end to the other of this album, of which the big fault is being too short – why not a double, friends, like those of your illustrious predecessors?
“Long live Quebec music! », launched Thierry Larose at the end of his interpretation without net of Lovers of Pompeii at Club Soda, carried by the audience who sang half the song at the top of their lungs for them. A moment of communion that gives you chills, and a cry from the heart that, we hope, will be heard. Because the song made here by the new generation is rich, and so that these three, who have taken up the torch without complexes, are in turn part of History.
