Details: Amazon.ca His self-titled debut album, in 1998, was a pleasant surprise. In Chansons sur les filles et les autoroutes, Alain Simard persists and signs (once again) all the texts and all the music. The result is amazing. His urban and realistic writing is strewn with humor and slightly twisted poetry, as in “And here is now a happy little song”: “I feel as if I had drunk fabric softener because it's so soft and so calm within”. Alain Simard, in his thirties, globe-trotter and film fan, leaves his Belle Province and takes us from New York to Paris, from Berlin to Los Angeles – in “LA Song”, we also hear news bulletins, in English, telling about an earthquake. In terms of music, Simard oscillates between rock, pop, ballads, and even reggae (in the joyful “Pourri”, one of the best moments of the album). We will also notice the interesting vocal presence of Nancy Dumais. --Jean-Yves Girard
