From Karkwa to solo: our favorite singer, Louis-Jean Cormier

(F)ashionable (M)ondays are (L)ovable

Hellow ^-^

I would first like to thank my worldwide readers: many of you come from North America, and some from Europe (wow)! I am very proud that you follow me and I hope from the bottom of my heart that you appreciate my blog.

Yesterday, I have promised to write about music...

Did you know that Quebec has its own version of the popular TV show "The Voice" ? In fact, the judges are singers with impressive career and recognized throughout the "Francophonie" (Mainly France & Qc).

Although I respect them all, today, I will introduce you to the sexy talented Louis-Jean Cormier. I would like to warn you right away that he is married and has two children... just in case...

Is he an hipster, a weirdo, an angel, a demon? Let's discover LJC's music together!








In 1998, L-J Cormier and some friends from the "Cégep Saint-Laurent" form a band called Karkwa. Their unique musical style is now recognized by several awards. My favorite song of the group? 

Le pyromane


They produce very different chords than the usual "popular" Quebec music. Listening to their music, I feel that I can travel through time and space. The enigmatic 33 years old singer's voice sooths me.

Louis-Jean Cormier recently released a solo album: Le treizième étage (the thirteenth floor). The great success of this album has been rewarded by prestigious prizes as well as a Gold Record for 40,000 copies sold!


My favorite songs from his solo album are Le monstre (the monster), Un refrain trop long (a too long chorus) and Bull's eye (Bull's eye hehehe).

Bull's eye

I hope you enjoy my article on the bright and charming Louis-Jean Cormier!
See you on Thursday!
