No theme. No rules. Just music we love.
This week on Le Sound, Marie-Hélène, Cyril and Fannie each brought songs they wanted to share, no brief, no constraints, just the pleasure of putting good francophone music in front of you.
Marie-Hélène brought two Québec artists she keeps coming back to: Alphonse Bisaillon, a free spirit who resists every label, and Yael Naïm, French-Israeli singer, activist and three-time Victoire de la Musique winner, with a track from her 2025 album about accepting yourself, doubts and all. Plus a detour to Belgium with Colt, an electropop duo whose new single landed just in time.
Cyril brought Sahëlie, who grew up between dance classes and West African rhythms and sounds like no one else. And Aurus, a tenor from Réunion Island, taking maloya into electronica with the San Francisco Girls Chorus.
Fannie brought Pierre Lapointe, a Québec monument, and Angèle with Dua Lipa, because the show needed at least one moment of pure joy.
No theme. Just good music, chosen with care.
