Selective listening | Le Couleur, Yseult, Loud and Ya Cetidon

Every week, our music journalists add songs to the playlist of The Press on Spotify. Here are three recent titles that are in our selection.


The colour, Autobahn

Typical summer song offered by the Montreal trio Le Couleur. And with that title… dare we say it’s easy to imagine hurtling down a deserted road with the windows rolled down and the music blaring. A very synthesized pop music, moreover, but where one also perceives the love for the guitar and the percussions. A happy mix of dance, disco and alternative. And this text dictated by the voice of Laurence G-Do recounting the last moments of a certain Barbara at the wheel of her car, before a fatal accident at high speed. Yes, it’s all of these at the same time, Autobahn.

Ya Cetidon and Loud

During his show at the Francos, Loud brought several guests on stage. Ya Cetidon was one of them. Few of the thousands of festival-goers knew him, but they were immediately charmed by this Quebecer of Congolese origin now residing in Laval, who interpreted the very rhythmic You yourself know with the Montreal rapper. The “artistic and human crush between the two artists” gave birth to another song: Nothing to do, which is even more eye-catching. The two songs are combined in a music video and a mini-EP, Dual-Featureproduced by AC, Ajust, Realmind, Ruffsound, Tim Buron and Traxx Like A Ninja.

The singer Yseult

French singer-songwriter Yseult begins a new chapter with the release of the piece Lost, a heartbreaking song that announces beautiful things to come. The Revelation of the year for the Victoires de la musique 2021 had been very discreet after having canceled her tour to take better care of herself. But her return has been taking shape for some time and Yseult hits hard with this piece of piano-voice rupture, wrapped in magnificent string arrangements, where she sings her goodbye to someone she loved. If we do not yet know what the French singer has in store for us, we are delighted with her return with this piece which reaffirms all her talent.
