PAN M 360 / TOP 100 : Arielle Soucy – Il n’y a rien que je ne suis pas

· by Théo Reinhardt

Over the past few weeks, our most active record reviewers have had the task of choosing their 5 favorite recordings of 2023, and here they are. This selection is unique and quite different of all you can find on the web or through traditional medias.

Emerging Montreal singer-songwriter Arielle Soucy hasn’t missed a trick with this one. On Il n’y a rien que je ne suis pas, she opens the doors to a slightly whimsical folk sanctuary, where reality is paradoxical. There’s a mix of the serious and the wonderful, a little friendship in one ear and love in the other. Arielle Soucy’s most impressive talent is probably her ability to color beyond the lines. She unearths new compositions, sings staircase melodies, writes phrases that don’t quite fit into their rhythmic box. The effect is sometimes dizzyingly magical. The album’s themes delve into the contradictions of reality, the paradoxes of identity, and attempt to make the little things big. Between the tiles on the floor, the flowers on the path, the little cat at our feet, the sheets that stick, this magnetic album works its force and gently draws us in.
