This was my favorite French song this year, and one of my favorites in any language. It's that powerful.
This song - from the Polaris Prize-shortlisted album Journal d’un Loup-Garou, and certain future Juno winner - is by someone who got her musical career kickstarted by performing on (and not winning) the Quebec version of The Voice, called La Voix.
I promise you, this song starts really slow. Stick with it. It picks the hell up in a hurry.
At an outdoor music festival in Quebec last July, she performed an acoustic version of the song, which I think is just beautiful.
But what sold me on her was her Polaris performance last September. It was emotional and powerful. Stick around for the 2nd song, too.
