Jesse Mac Cormack has gone over to the electro side of pop song and it should come as no surprise to anyone who has been interested in his production in recent years, both as a singer-songwriter and as a collaborator or record producer. One would even dare to believe that his experience with the house composer CRi, who invited him to sing two songs on his album Juvenilenurtured his inspiration for SOLO, disc made almost alone, except for a touch of programming on the part of Félix Petit, accomplice of Les Louanges. The fat-sounding keyboards chosen by Mac Cormack generously hug the almost house rhythms that dominate this album, where the musician finds the balance between the warmth of the sounds and the coldness of the drum machines. With his shrill and broken voice, the Montrealer recalls on this second album the solo work of Thom Yorke and the more hovering Radiohead, but with a form of abandonment that we will listen to with the agonizing experience of two years of pandemic, his words getting lost in the whirlwind of hypnotic keyboard notes.
