Mélanie: Known for charismatic live performances and contagious energy, Mélanie Brulée launched her latest Francophone release “Débridée” to a sold out crowd at The Burdock Music Hall in Toronto on May 26, 2015. Recorded between Toronto and Montréal and produced by Benoit Morier, Débridée includes collaborations with French-Canadians Anique Granger, Daniel Peloquin-Hopfner (Red Moon Road), Charles Tilden (Delta Will) and Faye Blais.
From the opening surf -folk-rock piece Obtus through to the psychedelic Astéroïde, radio listeners throughout Canada and Québec have been enjoying these atmospheric folk tracks infused with rock in perfect symbiosis. Antidote du doute earned Mélanie the 2015 Folk Music Ontario Stingray Music “Songs From the Heart” Award. A proud ambassador for mental health, Mélanie offers bilingual self-confidence workshops for youth across Canada.
Anique: With her unique, percussive fingerpicking, perfectly intertwined with a caressing voice, this Saskatchewan-born singer song writer serves us a blend of home made folk, roots, seasoned with a little influence of funk and “chanson française”. Live and on record, Anique sings love, of course, but also simplicity, authenticity and naïveté. Idealistic? Maybe, but through her music she offers us her search for meaning, at once candid and profoundly human.
