Today, P’tit Belliveau unveils J'feel comme un alien, a new song from Un homme et son piano, set to come out on April 1st 2022 via Bonsound. With his latest single, the innovative Acadian musician transports us to a universe where piano ballads from the 80s cross paths with country music and Japanese city-pop. P’tit Belliveau’s new album, which he produced himself in his Baie-Ste-Marie, Nova Scotia home studio, is available to pre-order now.
On J'feel comme un alien, the young Nova Scotian takes us on an offbeat trip through space that is rooted in his childhood. Introverted by nature, Jonah Guimond (aka P'tit Belliveau) had a hard time connecting with others when he was younger, and this shyness led him to retreat into his own musical universe. Carried by an unlikely blend of musical genres that perfectly fuse together, this new song is a celebration of our quirks and differences, reminding us that we are all someone else’s alien.
J'feel comme un alien is available on all music services.
Pre-order Un homme et son piano on vinyl, CD or digital.
Accompanied by a strange, fascinating music video by Vincent Bilodeau – who also directed the videos for Stand There and L'eau entre mes doigts, J'feel comme un alien follows a purple extraterrestrial being as it navigates a world inhabited by hundreds of P'tit Belliveaus. Fans will notice references to the singer-songwriter's repertoire, including musical instruments, dumbbells, a John Deere tractor and more. The video was created under the condition that it be inspired by P'tit Belliveau's world, explains the director. All the ideas are already in the songs. Our creative universes connect in 3 seconds, even from 1,300 km away.

After winning over the Francos de Montréal audience in a sold-out, outdoor concert in September 2021, and having charmed the crowd at Point Éphémère in Paris last fall, P’tit Belliveau continues his rise to fame with over 30 upcoming shows this year. His tour notably includes a sold-out concert at the Club Soda in Montréal on April 30th, as well as an additional show on June 17th during the Francos de Montréal.

About Un homme et son piano
On Un homme et son piano, P’tit Belliveau pushes his creative boundaries more than ever. The Acadian singer-songwriter seeks to craft the perfect balance of ‘super organic’ and ‘hyper digital music’ across these 12 self-produced tracks. The songs mirror the wide range of musical styles that influence the artist, and draw as much from country and bluegrass as they do from genres like hip-hop, disco, Japanese city-pop and 90’s video game music.
About P’tit Belliveau
Jonah Richard Guimond was 11 years old when he found a guitar in his parents' closet and unwittingly became P'tit Belliveau. Since then, the singer-songwriter from the small francophone community of Baie Sainte-Marie, Nova Scotia has tackled music with never ending candor and an unconventional spirit.
In 2020, with the help of producer Emmanuel Éthier, he released Greatest Hits Vol.1, an undeniably rich debut album that earned him a GAMIQ for Breakthrough Artist of the Year and Best Album Production (with Éthier) at the ADISQ Gala, as well as a place on the Polaris Music Prize Long List. The young Acadian artist also made it onto several year-end lists, including CBC, Apple Music, ICI Musique and the Journal de Montréal. The noteworthy music video he self-directed for the song Income Tax has also reached over 300,000 views on YouTube, and has been the subject of multiple memes.
In 2021, the multi-instrumentalist released a tribute EP to the late Baptiste Comeau. Now, with a flourishing artistic background and a very promising approach to music production, P'tit Belliveau is ready to unveil his sophomore full-length album on April 1st, 2022.
