Jill Barber: in French, again and always!

Interview by Frédéric Cardin
Genres and styles : Vocal Jazz

Additional Information

Vancouver singer Jill Barber has already released two albums of songs in French, which have been immensely popular with the public, particularly in Quebec. Now the beautiful Francophile is at it again with her third album, Encore! on all platforms on 14 June. Jill will also be at the Francos de Montréal two days later to present it to the public. It’s a mutual love affair that’s still going strong, and one that continues to nurture some very fine musical offerings, beautifully reworked for the singer’s gentle, warm personality. We rediscover Piaf, Trenet, Josephine Baker, Blossom Dearie and Charlebois through readings dressed in surprising and seductive finery. I met Jill Barber who told me all about this new album.
