Valérie Clio Makes a Luminous Comeback with Crépuscule

Interview by Keithy Antoine
Genres and styles : Blues / Caribbean / Jazz

Additional Information

Singer-songwriter Valérie Clio released her new album, Crépuscule, on March 27th. With this fourth album, she presents a world where love stories are experienced in all their beauty, fragility, and truth. Between sunset and twilight, Crépuscule explores the stirrings of the heart. It showcases Valérie Clio’s strengths: sincere, delicate, and ever-evolving lyrics, carried by music that is both contemporary and warm. Acoustic guitar, Caribbean rhythms, and touches of blues, jazz, and pop converge in an intimate, enveloping, and gently danceable soundscape.

Valérie Clio has been a fixture on the Quebec music scene for over 30 years. Born in Montreal to Haitian parents, she possesses a unique contralto voice, a blend of gospel, jazz, blues, folk, pop, and Haitian roots. With Crépuscule, she offers a soulful, luminous, and profoundly human album. Our contributor Keithy Antoine spoke with Valérie Clio for PAN M 360.
