INTERVIEW. After the release of her first album "Phoenix", the Canadian singer Charlotte Cardin publishes the reissue, enriched with six new songs.
The duality of a Phoenix. This is the name of this mythological bird, symbol of resurrection, that Charlotte Cardin chose for her very first album, released in April 2021 and whose reissue was released on Friday November 12. The Canadian singer unveils six new songs, which are added to a successful album, Phoenix, which has accumulated more than forty million plays worldwide. "With the reissue, we wanted to extend the Phoenix bubble, because it was very well received. And we had written a lot of songs for this record, we had chosen thirteen, but there were others to which I was very attached", explains Charlotte Cardin.
"The Phoenix Bubble" is a mix of styles, from pop to hip-hop to soul, all with introspective lyrics co-written by the 27-year-old artist and two of his friends, including his lifelong producer, Jason Brando. “It was a first for me. Before, I always wrote and composed everything myself, I was almost possessive of my own songs, it was really important for me to have control, underlines Charlotte Cardin. In the end, I thought I had an album that was a little less personal, it's more personal than ever, the songs are rawer and more honest than anything I've ever written."
A voice that some compare to Adele, a mix of styles and a record with... Céline Dion: with Phoenix, she is the first Quebec artist since Céline Dion in 2016, to have risen to first place in Canadian sales for two consecutive weeks. A success which can also be explained by the texts of this first disc, inspired by his own life. She talks about intimate subjects, love, disappointment, sexism... "It's an album that really required a little painful introspection, remembers the interpreter of Meaningless. I went to meet wounds that I had inside of me and that I needed to channel. It was a long process, full of ups and downs. It was complicated to go to meet his insecurities. But it was liberating."
A "studio psychoanalysis" in her words, which allowed her to "channel certain things" that she "cannot express otherwise." "This is largely the reason why I called this album Phoenix. It's really this duality between personal evolution and sacrifice, between things that are reborn and that die", summarizes Charlotte Cardin, revealed to the eyes of the general public in 2013 with his participation in the program La Voix, the Canadian version of The Voice.
