In this highly anticipated second career opus from the Quebec singer-songwriter, we find songs with rich lyrics and memorable melodies. From the outset, we hear all the work put into writing the lyrics: references to literature, painting, pop culture, and even his previous album, Cantalou. Each of the album’s ten tracks presents itself as a small story set to music, in which Larose’s poetry can unfold freely. Musically, we find a nice diversity of styles, going from folk rock to more pop tracks and acoustic ballads. The balance between the songs is very successful: the more contemplative melodies sit alongside danceable and energetic tracks. This variety proves that Larose has more than one string to his bow and that he knows how to hit the target every time. The many accolades awarded to this album this year are fully deserved.
