(S)unny & (O)riginal (S)unday
After several months of absence, here I am again! And seriously, how could we better start the year than by talking about music! So, here we go.
I have a dream, as a student, that, one day, I will work so hard during my weekend (well, on Friday and Saturday) that my Sunday afternoon will be free. Today, I'm happy that it kind of happenned because of the Holidays break. I'm sure I'm not the only one who enjoy to just sit around a nice spot and play some good music. I appreciate a wide variety of songs, but as a Francophone, I'm always happy to encourage some new local artists.
Karim Ouellet
This folk-pop singer-songwritter is my personal pick. I can't deny that his unique voice and music style attracts me. L'amour, the music video above (Not far from 1 000 000 views on Youtube!), is one of the songs on his first album Plume. His second album, Fox, won two Juno Awards in 2014.
Valérie Carpentier
Valérie Carpentier, the last winner of The Voice (Quebec version), has a lovely voice. This song, Le Rendez-vous, very often plays on the radio. She has a lot of potential and, hopefully, she'll record a new album soon!
Alex Nevsky
The young singer-songwritter from Quebec already has two hits, Les coloriés and On leur a fait croire, wich you can listen in the videoclip above. The somehow pop vibe is interesting. I'm sure it's just the beginning of a great carrier for him!
There is a lot more of interesting young artists from Quebec, I'll talk about more of them later!
