Just weeks before the release of Le fantastique des astres via Bonsound, Yann Perreau shares the music video for his song J’aime les oiseaux. Pre-order the album on Bandcamp and iTunes (Vinyl/CD/digital) now and get the song immediately. Yann surprised many fans with this new single, which has taken over Quebec’s radio waves. Watch and share the video for J’aime les oiseaux via YouTube.
Don’t miss out on the album launch in Montreal on April 12 at l’Usine C! Yann Perreau will also be playing at the Impérial Bell in Québec on April 29th.
An artist continuously growing in boldness and maturity, Yann Perreau is back in fine form with this fresh new album full of heartfelt and well-crafted lyrics set to lively, groovy music. After the release of his previous album À genoux dans le désir, composed of unpublished works by Claude Péloquin, the singer-songwriter returned to his own writing. Based on the events of the past few years (deaths, births, accidents, voyages...) the creation of these songs became more than necessary.
Le fantastique des astres was created in the heat of the moment as both a joyful celebration of life as well as a middle finger to modern world cynicism. The passion is palpable in the lyrics and music for songs like Baby boom, J’aime les oiseaux and Faut pas se fier au apparences. With his head high in the sky, both feet on the ground, the showman has created a perfect playground for himself and his listeners.
Though this fifth album offers many festive, dance songs, the wonderful tracks À l’amour et à la mer and T’embellis ma vie portray a more sensitive Yann Perreau. This album was produced by Tante Blanche, an enigmatic personality and sound designer who loves mixing lots of old and new material, and includes collaborations with Laurence Nerbonne, Pierre Kwenders and Yves Desrosiers.
