EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: M Pour Montreal: Coeur de Pirate - Ensemble
This stomper from Coeur de Pirate starts with just simple piano and drum and by the end explodes into a parade of horns, with the lovely Beatrice Martin leading the charge. Coeur de Pirate opened up the last night of M Pour Montreal at the cavernous hall that is Metropolis (Chris Cornell was headlining the next night) sitting behind a grand piano and being utterly charming and commanding on her own. With a voice that is surprisingly strong, for all of its alluring breathiness, and a command on the piano that made her seem right at home in a concert hall, I couldn't help thinking, 'yay, a French (Canadian) Regina Spektor.' Which is selling Beatrice short, but is definitely not a bad thing.
Sounds Like: Brigitte Bardot, Regina Spektor, Malajube, Ane Brun, Orouni
