The simple plan was....: a compilation of songs I had previously recorded in French. But wait. Life goes on. . .things change, and I am made aware as I revisit each song, that time paints the day with fresh colours, reframes memories and brings clarity or understanding. I found myself compelled to re-record the songs that have travelled with me for a while. As well, I was eager to explore more French repertoire - a rewarding adventure for sure. I must share these discoveries! And so, a new album came to life - an opportunity to immerse myself in the musical poetry of la langue française, including repertoire from la belle province de Québec! Longing and loss, laughter and joy, romance and delicious melancholy. . . all in the fullness of a life. « Seule ce soir » will accompany you on your own journey. Emilie-Claire Barlow
