Recently awarded the Félix for Songwriter of the Year at the 2014 ADISQ Gala, Philippe B now shares a video for a re-orchestrated version of his song Ornithologie I. Shot in three single-sequence shots and directed by GPG, the video gradually unveils images of Philippe at the piano, a 15-piece marching band and a choir made up of seven female singers gathered together for the occasion.
The year 2014 finishes on a high note for Philippe B, who will act as Pierre Lapointe’s advisor on the next season of La Voix (Quebec’s own The Voice). Nominated for Folk Album of the Year at ADISQ and GAMIQ, Ornithologie, la nuit, Philippe’s Polaris long-listed fourth solo album, has also already made its way on many best-of-2014 lists (La Presse, VOIR, L’Actualité, Ici ARTV).
In addition to working on original music for a dance concert, a short film and Éric Morin’s next movie, Philippe will perform in Ottawa on January 30th (Quatrième salle du CNA) and in Quebec City on January 31st (Théâtre Petit Champlain / Maison de la Chanson).
[…] si beau et si réussi. […] C'est un album dans lequel on se love et on voudrait qu'il ne finisse jamais. 4.5/5

[Ornithologie, la nuit] confirme le talent pérenne de Philippe B [...] se décante sur des variations plus simples, mais ô combien concluantes.
Alain Brunet, La Presse
[…] un disque beau comme un amour qui se construit
Philippe Papineau, Le Devoir
Fin producteur d'images, Philippe B montre une nouvelle fois qu'il maîtrise aussi l'art de la mélodie ciselée et habillée avec soin. 4/5
