Coeur De Pirate

0:00It was good. I like the P breaks. That was funny. I had to do that. So I'm Matt with MSN. I guess. And we'll just talk about the record and the pregnancy and all that good stuff if you want. Okay, sure. Okay. Well, let's start with something because we have a mutual friend, Michael Roldt, who worked on your record. Oh, good. Yeah, I love my, well, he's, I haven't gone through any ages, but I'm sure he's doing great so far as well. Well, yeah, some play 30 was here in Toronto, Thursday, and I sound play was great. He was fantastic. Really? Yeah. And then I started thinking I can hear like his riffage on your record. So I'm wondering like what did he bring to the process? Um, actually asked him to, um, to arrange a couple of songs just because I wanted this whole 60s vibe to it. And Michael, I mean, Michael's not really, uh, not really known from the general public.

0:50And I thought that was like a, I'm sure he's going to get, I'm sure he's going to be huge like in a couple like months or a year or so. But I mean, it's like, it's so great because his universe is dead on with what I wanted to do. Um, and, uh, I was just really stoked and I asked him and he said, yes. So I mean, that worked out. Um, and, uh, it was really for that sound that particular sound, um, 60s, the Renettes, the crystals, uh, feel specter kind of vibe. Um, and I really wanted that and I knew he could actually achieve that. So. And was it difficult working, I guess, with French lyrics? I'm assuming he doesn't speak French. No, um, I think it was, I think it was just like just the, he understood the, the goal of it. I think the music, he's a great musician. So he totally understood it.

1:35And he actually listened to a lot of music in French before I knew totally got what I wanted to do. Like this whole gal type of thing. And, uh, it really went really well. Yeah, well, I think so. Um, so let's talk about the show last night a little bit because it's funny sitting in the audience last night or standing in the audience rather. It's funny how singing in French doesn't affect an English audience at all. People are still just as much into it. Yeah. Um, actually I was surprised that I thought they were going to be a lot more French-speaking people yesterday, but, um, the crowd was mainly English. So that was, that was interesting. Um, and, uh, I was, I was really happy to see that they were not beat at all. It was great. Is it, have you toured the States at all? You tried? Did I try to what? Tour the States. Uh, I'm sorry.

2:23I tried to tour the States, the United States. Oh, yeah. We just, we just got back from the West Coast. Actually, we did Portland and in January, we did all the East kind of so, um, not all of it, but like the main cities. So that it's like Washington and, and, uh, New York and Philly. And are the audience, are the audience as French people or the, like, is it just people who did music? Um, people who did music. Basically, there's some people that see French and a lot of people that only see English. So that's really awesome. Yeah, it's cool how language really just doesn't, it doesn't make a difference, really. It's kind of like cigarose in a way, because you're hearing these words that you might not understand, but they just so beautifully put together that it just works. Yeah, I mean, I was, um, I was surprised to see how, you know, people don't really just stop at the lyrics. They really hear the production elements to it.

3:09They, they get the general vibe of it all. And, and that's really good for me because, um, I mean, when I sing in French, like for the people here in Quebec and in, and in France, like the, I, it's a bigger audience, but it's like a lot of kids and a lot of, um, a lot of older people too. And, and whereas in the States and in English Canada, I'm very considered indie almost. Um, so it's interesting. I get that both, you know, best of both worlds. I heard you say performing in France is different that they expect more. Um, they, um, I don't know. It's, um, it's, I became kind of a pop figure when I started doing stuff in France and in Quebec. Um, and, uh, it was the stakes change, I guess.

3:58Um, but it's, it's really different when I play in Toronto and Vancouver and, you know, anywhere else, people don't speak French for some reason. Is the last show is like in a couple of weeks for you, I guess, for the time being? Uh, I mean, last show before, before the baby break. Oh, yeah. The last show was in two weeks. So that's 15th of June. And then, and then what? And then are you ready for it? Like what's going to happen for you? Um, yeah, I'm totally, I mean, I'm totally ready to, you know, finish this tour. I mean, um, it's a shame I can't do the festivals. Obviously if I, if I could have, I would have, um, but I couldn't. So that's, that's the sad part of it. Um, but yeah, like I'm ready to actually just stop for a little while and concentrate on other stuff.

4:43I've been doing music for the past three years. So this should be interesting. You said concentrate on other stuff. What kind of other stuff? What are you looking forward to? And I guess the break. Um, I guess more writing, uh, I haven't done a lot of writing in the past year. So I am really looking forward to just taking some time for me, trying to see where I can get more creative. Um, I was, I was usually I talk about heartbreak and deception and, and, um, the broken girl type of game kind of gets tired at one point. So I, I want to see if I can invite about something else. I'm sure the baby will help that. I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of joy in your life very soon. I should hope so. Does it make you kick on stage? Like are you noticing different things during your performance?

5:31I do. I do different things during the performance now. Do you feel that maybe kick on stage or like, does it change the way you act or perform? Um, no, it actually doesn't, it doesn't change anything. Off for now. It's just, I get more tired for a patch about it. Okay. Um, so I went to the show last night with a friend who's also a musician. And she was like, I really respect her for, for, for going through with the pregnancy. And, and, and because it's hard for a woman in music, you know, a guy like the guys in your band, their wives can be pregnant. They can go on the road for so much. Nothing changes, but for you, everything changes. So what, what are some of the challenges you've noticed being a woman in the music industry? Um, I mean, as far as it is a man's world, and I'm not going to, I'm not going to, you know, buy about it. I mean, it's, I remember just being at Todd Crush the other week. And, uh, like the only all the girls that were there were like with their husbands or boyfriends.

6:19And they were asking me like what I was doing. And I was like, well, I'm performing. And, and, uh, it was kind of, it was kind of like, wow. Okay. Cool. It's awesome. Like with your band and blah, blah. It was, it was really fun. Um, but, um, I, I, I didn't feel discrimination. That's for sure. But it definitely a lot more, uh, people talk about, you know, talk about your looks and, and the way you present yourself way more, um, uh, some subjects are a little bit more touchy than they feel like a guy thinking about them. Um, you know, it's, it is what it is. It's always been this way. So. And if you don't want to answer this question, I, I understand that. But was there ever a point when, when either management or the label or your agent was like, do you really want to have this baby?

7:05You know, it's going to throw, you know, you, you have a team of people that work for you. Now there's a lot of people that, you know, are on that team. So was there ever questions about that at all? Um, you know what? And no, because obviously this was going to eventually happen to me. Um, but, uh, no, they were, they were pretty stoked. I mean, it was obviously going to be a little bit more complicated on the management side. Like what to do for touring and, and, you know, how we're going to take the tour bus. Like, are we, how are we going to plan this? Um, that was a complicated part, but they were, they were down with it. It made sense that the whole, like when the CD came out and everything, it made sense. And back to the CD just for a second. It's always a side portrait on the covers. How come? I don't know. I guess like the second one is just, it just happened that way. Um, which is good.

7:51It, it fits. And now I know that for the third one, I'm going to have to do the same thing. It's always going to be the same way. That's funny. Um, I heard, I heard you want to move to Toronto. Is that true? I can't do that anymore. Okay. I'm trusting you. No. I'm going to raise the family in Montreal. Yeah, I'm going to have to. Um, I wanted to. I mean, I still go to Toronto if like my job permitted it. Um, but uh, I kind of have to say Montreal. My boyfriend being like half French too. It's kind of like, he can't speak English. Okay. Um, yeah. So I'm going to have to say here. My posts and problems, right? That's cool. Um, speak, speak in English. Golden baby. It's the one song I can kind of sing along to. So you just. Really? Well, because it has two English words in it. So it's kind of nice. Oh, good. So how come you title a record?

8:38I know Captain Pele has always going to be, always going to be a French thing. So how come an English title? Um, I, that's actually originally in English. So, um, yeah. So that's why. And I didn't want to change the Golden baby because it just made sense that way. So, um, for that, um, see, I don't know, I just, I just kept holding baby, but it made sense with the rest of the song. And originally the song was in English. He gave me one second. I just need to lock my door and I need both my hands. Yes, of course. Um, I'm just going to do that. Okay, sorry. I'm going to, I'm going to a baby shower right now, actually, not mine, but, but somebody else's. Oh, do you have time? I don't like having time yet.

9:24I don't want to, like, ruin. Um, I'm just, I'm just waiting for my list. So we've got time to worry. Okay, cool. I won't take too much longer. Don't worry. Um, okay. Uh, what was the end of the song? Oh, so, do you write in English? Did you write in English? Did you write in English? Did you write in English? And then end up being French? Um, not for most of the record material, but I do write in English most of the time. I mean, it, it happens to me often. Like, I, I do want to work in English soon. Um, I don't know how soon, but I'm counting on it. Cool. That's interesting. So would you ever, so there might be an English record, but I guess it won't be killed if you have. No, I'm going to be completely different. Okay. And will it sound 60s-ish? Will it sound like this kind of record or do you have an idea? Yeah, I do actually.

10:09Um, I was thinking about, I really fascinated by the, by the country 60s. Like, I basically like just, you know, tell me when that and tell me when it and, and, um, and it's just that, you know, you can make sad records just out of country and I'm a huge on cash band. So I think it'd be really interesting to work on that. And I, I have a, I am trying to, I have to learn a lot of more about the history of it all, but I like to make a really sad, dark country album. Yeah, that'd be cool. So why did you need to learn about the history of it all? Couldn't you? I just, just, just, just in the references, like why, you know, the, like basic appellation songs, um, would be, you know, what's the,

10:56like, people in the mind were talking about when they were singing about certain things. I mean, I think it's important to send to them the history before I get into it. For sure. You're very deep for a young person. This is amazing. The record talks, I'm jumping around a lot, I know, but the record talks a lot about phases in a relationship. Do you want to explain that a little bit? Um, it's just, with the, with that record, especially, it's just you go through, it's not just about meeting somebody and going through a breakup. You go through a lot of different phases when you're in love with somebody, um, especially when you're lacking confidence with, I mean, locking, confident confidence in yourself. So basically the second you meet someone, then there are a couple changes that happen. You know, you meet someone that's beautiful and then it gets kind of weird sometimes. And then there's the, you know, your own insecurity sometimes, uh,

11:44surface when, when you're dating somebody and it's, it's, well, when you're happy with somebody, it doesn't happen, but it's not going well. Then your own security is kind of tense surface, uh, right there. So, um, that album was basically just me trying to figure out what I was going through and why was feeling so insecure in my own relationship with, um, the person that I was with, basically. Right. Who's also a friend, but we won't need to speak of him. It's fine. So we do something called five questions, five quick questions, one word answers. Okay. Roder Studio. Roder Studio. Leonard or McCartney? I'm McCartney. When you hear a song, what hits you first? Lyric's Melody or Rhythm? Melody. Song you've written your most proud of. Uh, plas de la ritivic.

12:31Cool. And in one word go to Pilat. Um, one word, uh, um, um, um, um, I, um, I'm all sick, I guess, like romantic, or, uh. And, uh, we're also putting together this feature of artists playlist, like five tunes that you really dig. So do you want to just list five songs either now or of all time but five songs that you really dig? Okay, like right now. Yeah, okay Stand by your man by Tammy Winnet. I guess Kathleen by town fan fans. This is really good lunch Nimitz di pah from Jacques Brem

13:19Okay I think Visa burden growing stone And I'm a harmony dry out now that's four that's four and a one last one Oh So many songs Say game prior National oh amazing. I love that. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, oh That's actually how we set up all the time. It's just it's just basically we wanted to do this whole like Festive type of festival type of ambiance and yeah, that's it's just um, that's just what happened It was like the left people I like the fanians and stuff. It just made sense
