I\u2019d like to understand, in terms of your songwriting process, how you distinguish between material for Francb\u00e2tards and your solo project. Because musically, there is still a similarity in the styles.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>Alex Paquette : <\/strong>Actually, there\u2019s a similarity only in ska, and maybe a little bit in the reggae that I bring to Francb\u00e2tards, so to speak. It\u2019s about 30% of Francb\u00e2tards; in Francb\u00e2tards, I bring in reggae-ska elements. The others bring in all the other styles that I\u2019m less familiar with. When it comes to writing with Francb\u00e2tards, it\u2019s unique because we often approach it by theme. That means the other singer and I might decide to listen to documentaries on food sovereignty\u2014about Monsanto, for example\u2014we\u2019ll listen to everything being said on the topic, we\u2019ll listen to podcasts, we\u2019ll discuss it, and then we\u2019ll write together. Or sometimes, one of us will come up with a theme and ask, \u201cHey, do you want to write about that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">But we might have a song about love, or things like that, since we\u2019re two singers who take turns singing. There are some topics that are harder to tackle, I find, as a group. Then, with my solo project, it actually lets me talk about things that don\u2019t fit with Francb\u00e2tards. Sure, there are common themes\u2014it\u2019s pretty political, a lot about the environment, against inequality, all that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">Having my solo project means that the vast majority of the music is mainly me, and the lyrics are mine. My solo project is really a bit like writing poetry. That\u2019s really the big difference\u2014I mostly write while on tour, while traveling, or just for fun when I can\u2019t sleep at night. When it comes time to write songs, maybe 10% of my lyrics end up in them. For some lyrics, I think they could work with Francb\u00e2tards, but honestly, that almost never happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>PAN M 360: Okay, okay, okay. Interesting. Along the same lines, you can sense that there\u2019s still a shift or evolution between <em>Reggae de Verdun<\/em>, your previous album, and <em>Et J\u2019ai pris La Route<\/em> by Alex Paquette and Les Insulaires. The melancholic side seems to have disappeared, giving way to introspection about the journey taken. Does that stem from the musicians, Les Insulaires, or has the songwriting evolved in that direction?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>Alex Paquette: <\/strong>Yes. You got it right. I wrote \u201cReggae de Verdun\u201d during the pandemic. I don&#8217;t know if you can tell, but I was often all alone. I really wrote everything myself, just with vocals and guitar, without thinking about the band that might join in. It was only later that beatmakers added sounds, and then musicians worked on the finishing touches. It was really a time when I\u2019d go for walks in the evening\u2014it was the pandemic, and I was in my neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">As for the new album, I approached it as if it were my last. I\u2019m nearing forty, I\u2019ll soon have played 500 shows and done 10 international tours\u2014I\u2019m feeling a bit worn out\u2014so I told myself, \u201cOkay, this time I\u2019m going to make something I\u2019ll be 100% satisfied with.\u201d I stopped thinking, \u201cOh, for the next album, I\u2019ll do it this way,\u201d and was much more focused on, \u201cI want it to sound exactly the way I want it to sound.\u201d I\u2019ve been touring for 15 years; for the past 2\u20133 years, I\u2019ve been away from home most of the time because I\u2019m on tour. I needed to reflect on how I felt about all of that, and then put it into music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">With *Reggae de Verdun*, I was more focused on thinking, \u201cIf I do this, it\u2019ll work better (commercially).\u201d With this one, I really went with things I love, even though some styles\u2014like French ska, for example\u2014aren\u2019t exactly popular, but I\u2019m doing it more for myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>PAN M 360: You\u2019re releasing your album this time with Les Insulaires. What matters most to you when you launch a project like this? Is it having that sense of teamwork and community?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>Alex Paquette:<\/strong> Actually, with *Reggae de Verdun*, maybe that\u2019s what I was missing a bit. I really did it all on my own, and the collaborators did a lot of the work from home. Whereas for this one, I wanted an island sound, a tropical sound, so I showed up with my lyrics without having any finished songs, strictly speaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">There are two people who helped me the most: Axel, who\u2019s from Guadeloupe, and Skarkbone 14, who\u2019s from Mauritius. Then there\u2019s the chemistry we have in the studio with these two guys\u2014even though there are eight of us on the album, I really created most of it with them so they could bring their own sound to it. There are musicians who are part of my other project, but I didn\u2019t want to involve them until the songs were well underway or finished. Because I knew exactly what they would offer me; even though I like that, it risked sounding too much like Francb\u00e2tards, so I wanted to keep the two projects separate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>PAN M 360: Several languages are featured on this album. Why is that?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>Alex Paquette:<\/strong> Actually, since I approached it as if it were my last album, all the singers are people I already know. If I\u2019d thought, \u201cI\u2019m going to make lots of other albums; I\u2019m going to branch out,\u201d I would have invited new people, figuring I\u2019d work with my collaborators again later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">So the two people I\u2019ve enjoyed working with the most in the past\u2014on my first and second albums\u2014are back. Tchoomin Daddy is a guy from southwestern France. I see him every time I go back to Europe; I\u2019ve even visited him as a tourist, and we\u2019ve become really good friends. Even if it was just for a few bars, I wanted him to be there. Maru Tribu\u2014I loved working with her on <em>C\u2019est Pas Normal<\/em>. Back then, we barely knew each other. Since then, we\u2019ve traveled to Chile together, and we hang out pretty often. My favorite song I\u2019ve made to date was with her. So I wanted to do another one, and actually, the idea came from her too, because she sent me some lyrics. That\u2019s why she\u2019s the one singing most of that song. It was originally a collaboration with a French artist that didn\u2019t pan out, so the song was never released. So we took the theme, changed some chords, and evolved it from a reggae-hip-hop track to a ska\/reggae one as a little nod to that style. I tweaked the lyrics a bit to make the song my own again; she\u2019d been dreaming of releasing it, and I just told her, \u201cWell, now\u2019s the time. Let\u2019s do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">As for the collaboration with No\u00e9, it was the other way around. No\u00e9 came to me, and I was like, \u201cOh, I want to try something.\u201d Basically, No\u00e9 and I would get together to write songs. Then we\u2019d write lyrics while going for walks. We share a file where we edit the lyrics. We\u2019d never done reggae before\u2014I really like Tryo. Eventually, we started from there and made a song. But I\u2019d say that the process\u2026 I think I wanted to surround myself with my friends. No\u00e9 plays hockey with me; he\u2019s a friend in real life, so it\u2019s important to have an album with as many friends as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"697\" src=\"https:\/\/panm360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-156759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/panm360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-scaled.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/panm360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-766x445.jpeg 766w, https:\/\/panm360.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image-1536x892.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>PAN M 360: What\u2019s the reasoning behind the artistic decision to title this one <em>Alex Paquette and the Insulaires<\/em>, when the first two were simply <em>Alex Paquette<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>Alex Paquette: <\/strong>Actually, when I started this project, it was really in response to Francb\u00e2tards; I thought I was going to perform solo, as a duo, or even with backing tracks. With \u201cReggae de Verdun,\u201d for example, that could have worked out\u2014I did it a few times on the sound system and stuff like that. It was mostly the thought, \u201cI tour with eight people in Francb\u00e2tards; I want the option to tour with just two of us in a car.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">I did that for a bit, then I realized that, actually, I like making music with a group. So over the last 2\u20133 years, when I tour as a group with the project, people often say, \u201cOh, okay, that\u2019s Alex Paquette, but who are the others?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">There were several musicians\u2014maybe about fifteen\u2014who would often come and go in groups of four or five. But over the past year, things have become much more stable, and with Axel, the drummer I mentioned earlier, I felt he brought something special to the table. That\u2019s where the idea for the band\u2019s name came from, and since I wrote the songs mainly with the guy from Guadeloupe and the guy from Mauritius, and in one of my old songs I say, \u201cWe live on an island, Call us the Insulaires,\u201d referring to Montreal, it was a no-brainer. I said \u201cCall us the Insulaires\u201d on the previous album, so we tossed around several ideas before finally deciding, \u201cActually, I think that\u2019s it.\u201d It also fits better with what I\u2019m doing. When the show is Alex Paquette and the Insulaires, it\u2019ll be a full-band show. Whereas if I want to go with a smaller lineup, it\u2019ll be Alex Paquette as a duo or solo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>PAN M 360: Where does your love of ska come from, considering it\u2019s been out of fashion for at least 25 years?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>Alex Paquette :<\/strong> It\u2019s really weird\u2014I got into it pretty late in the game. I come from the hardcore, metal, and a bit of punk rock scene. Until I was 20, I listened almost exclusively to hardcore, and it wasn\u2019t until I moved to Montreal that I started having roommates from all over the place. Cadet introduced me to music from the islands; he listened to more modern reggae and played Manu Chao songs on the guitar, and I started to really love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">When I played with other bands, the ones I really liked and the people I got along with were mostly from the ska scene. That led me to listen to other genres, and I realized that European ska is really what I prefer. The bands are more politically charged; there\u2019s sometimes a bit of a Latin vibe in their music. When I discovered the Skarfaces, the 86 Crew, and Skarbone 14, I was like, \u201cAh, this is totally my thing!\u201d It\u2019s positive music, but still angry. And let\u2019s be honest, the musicians are still bums, they\u2019re still rude boys, whereas the ska in Quebec, I found it more aligned with American ska, with skaters and all that. It\u2019s great live, but for listening, European ska remains my favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>PAN M 360: Off the top of your head, are you more of a Pisco Sour in Valpara\u00edso or a Gin and Tonic at La Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Secr\u00e8te in Gasp\u00e9sie kind of person?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>Alex Paquette :<\/strong> Oh my gosh! Seriously, it\u2019s pretty great\u2014I keep telling everyone\u2014but these are my two favorite spots. The comparison really works because they\u2019re the two places where I feel most at home. Taste-wise, I prefer the gin, but for relaxing, I\u2019d say Valparaiso because the water\u2019s easier to swim in. The scenery is beautiful at both places, but I have to admit that swimming in Valparaiso with the waves is pretty cool. But the gin from La Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Secr\u00e8te is pretty much unbeatable. Big up to La Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Secr\u00e8te\u2014the best gin in Quebec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>PAN M 360: Is there a movie you would have liked to compose the soundtrack for?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>Alex Paquette:<\/strong> Good question\u2026 I have a bachelor\u2019s degree in film! It\u2019s just that my favorite movies are darker; I don\u2019t see ska or rocksteady in a Spike Lee film or in <em>La Haine<\/em>. It would have to be a happier movie. When I think of my favorite movies, they\u2019re mostly films about revolution, rebellion, and stuff like that. Recently, I know I couldn\u2019t have done better, but Steve Rodney McQueen\u2019s film series, Small Axe? He made four or five films about the arrival of calypso and reggae in England from different perspectives; it came out in 2020. I recommend it to everyone\u2014it\u2019s about immigration to London, in particular, and its musical contribution.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the arrival of beautiful spring weather, it was the perfect time to meet Alex Paquette, an artist who loves to get crowds dancing to upbeat, sun-inspired rhythms.
