Arielle Soucy is back from slumber with her newest single “Ottawa.” Following up the March orchestral folk single “Promenade,” “Ottawa,” is a light, mystical Francophone folk ode about the simplicity, and sometimes, the disappointment of love. Arielle’s calming voice leads the track with a capo-ed acoustic, country-bluegrass guitar. It’s melancholic and spellbinding.
The video, directed by Karelle Goguen-Bancel, is tranquil, following Arielle in a remote location in the Larentides as she finishes tasks like fixing a birdfeeder in the forest. We see a motorhome, piles of firewood, and locations looking over the water.
“Ottawa” is also announcing Arielle Soucy’s upcoming fall album, Il n’y a rien que je ne suis pas out later this year via Bonbonbon.
