Lou-Adriane Cassidy – Journal d’un Loup-Garou

· by Arielle Desgroseillers-Taillon

The cover of Lou-Adriane Cassidy’s latest opus perfectly illustrates the themes that permeate this new album: vulnerability, childhood, introspection. The werewolf is the monster inside us that we must fight to move forward, but it’s also a reference to our childhood stories, to the tales and legends of our youth.

With Journal d’un Loup-Garou, the singer-songwriter opens up like never before, exploring deeply intimate subjects. In Dis-moi dis-moi dis-moi (“And then nothing, from one day to the next, a drowned horse, an endless story”) and in Souffle souffle (“And when one day I’ve given life, will you give me mine again, Daddy?”), she evokes the abandonment of her father at the age of 16.

Among the standout tracks, Chanson pour Odile is both tender and moving. Lou-Adriane addresses the daughter of her partner, Alexandre Martel, on a luminous, catchy melody, aptly conveying the joys and doubts of raising a child that is not her own. Ariane, an ode to her friendship with her “real sister” Ariane Roy, subtly explores the complexity of female relationships, where rivalry may exist, but love always triumphs in the end.

Constructed like a film, the album unfolds its tracks like scenes, right up to its closing credits, Celle-ci vient du coeur, in which Lou-Adriane thanks her collaborators. Among them, her life partner Alexandre Martel occupies a central place: both producer of the album and co-writer of most of the lyrics, he is a true pillar. His acolytes from Le Roy, la Rose et le Lou[p], Thierry Larose (guitar) and Ariane Roy (vocals), also bring their precious touch.

In short, Journal d’un Loup-Garou is a highly coherent concept album, where classic images from the fairy tales of our childhood – dragon, poisoned apple, vampire, snake – are interwoven with songs that are both sensitive and deeply personal. A powerful, heartfelt project that testifies to Lou-Adriane Cassidy’s artistic maturity.
