In Laurence Jalbert's native Gaspé, the squall is a strong wind that precedes the storm. Before the squall, it is therefore the moment of great calm which announces the storms. Carefully produced by bassist Pierre Duchesne (collaborator of Paul Piché and Kevin Parent), the singer's third album speaks of love, war and rupture.

Jalbert energetically delivers his warm lyrics, enveloped in pop music tinged with folk, which suits him well. The songs “Les bleus du cœur” and “Pour toi” easily rose to the top of the charts. The hoarse and perfectly mastered voice is well highlighted by the cream of Quebec musicians, guitarists Rick Haworth, Jeff Smallwood and Réjean Bouchard, cellist Eric Longworth, violinist André Proulx.

We also hear the rich voices of Richard Séguin, Bruno Pelletier and Claire Pelletier, who play the backing vocals. Always very accessible, always on edge, Laurence Jalbert never succumbs to ease and vocal effects. Flamboyant, Jalbert captivates with instinct and authenticity.
