Details: Amazon.ca While Americans revel in soul music, Quebecers rarely touch this style popularized among our neighbors to the south by Macy Gray, D'Angelo and Erykah Badu. After the newcomer Corneille ( Because we come from afar), it's Luck Mervil's turn to dare to offer an exclusively soul album to ears unaccustomed to the genre, in the wake of Generation Motown, musical review presented in 2002 and in which he played Marvin Gaye. The interpreter of Clopin, in Notre Dame de Paris, tackles directing for the first time and wins his bet with this powerful, energetic and warm Soul. Waltzing between explosive moments ("I like to love", "Le Soul Power", the excellent "Sincère") and tender songs ("Des Ailes"), Mervil demonstrates the full extent of his vocal register. In addition to a few clumsiness in terms of writing ("Do you feel it?", For example, and its not very subtle double meaning), the singer is more intimate than ever. He moves with "Mézanmi", a bomb in Creole co-written with his brother Pierre, in which he takes a critical look at Haiti, his country of origin. We already knew him as a formidable performer. With Soul, Luck Mervil delivers tangible proof of his great talent. --Frederic Boudreault
