Time obviously has little hold on Robert Charlebois . Of great relevance and still cool at the dawn of his 75th birthday, he is launching a 25th album: Et voilà .
We hear ten new songs where, with humor, melancholy and poetry, the artist takes a retrospective look at his life, the man realizes that the years are slipping away. This disc thus marks many beautiful reunions.
First with Louise Forestier who joins him for a duo where the magic operates, once again; it is also texts lost and found, including a particularly biting one by friend Réjean Ducharme ; it is the love that he declares to women and to his own above all else; it's a tip of the hat to two giants: Johnny and Elvis; it's Charlebois that reconnects with rock'n'roll on a text written to measure by Simon Proulx ! Gus Van Go and Werner F. sign the realization.
It was surrounded by two young New Yorkers from the hip-hop scene, multi-instrumentalist Jesse Signer and keyboardist Chris Soper , that Robert Charlebois recorded Et Voilà at Boiler Room studios in Brooklyn.
This remarkable mixing of generations and musical baggage has proven to be prolific and the result is a happy fusion of influences on each of the songs on the disc.
