New Music Monday #1 - Coeur de Pirate

As a Francophile, I really do love everything to do with the French, including French music. I recently discovered Coeur de Pirate after seeing a Facebook ad for their upcoming November 11 show at The Mod Club in Toronto. (Advertisers, take note: Facebook ads really do work.)

Coeur de Pirate, French for Heart of a Pirate or Pirate’s Heart, is the stage name for Béatrice Martin, a 22-year-old from Québec, Canada. One thing I love about her is that she plays the piano and has been doing so since she was three—the same age I learned the keyboard. She is a brilliant singer-songwriter with a captivating and soothing voice. Whether you understand French or not, I assure you will like her music.

It’s also good timing that I decided to start doing my weekly New Music blog posts today, because her new album Blonde was just released today. I’ve been waiting impatiently for this album as it features two of my favourite songs by Béatrice: “Adieu” and “Place de la République”, the same songs you hear in the above video.

The video is recorded by Wood & Wires Productions at The Great Hall in Toronto. I’m pretty sure I’ve listened to that same video on repeat over 100 times in the last two weeks. And after looping her self-titled album as well, in the car and at work, it’s time for a change. If you want to see Béatrice live, her show in Toronto is this Friday (I heard it’s her CD Release Party, so perhaps we may expect surprise guests?) and she’s touring across Europe before the year ends.
