The album La grande nuit vidéo by Philippe B is available today on all music services!
On his fifth album, Philippe B (who was named Songwriter of the Year at the 2014 ADISQ Gala), explores the human connection with fiction through the paradigm of a couple. During the writing process, he felt that he needed to include a female voice in these songs. This character is personified on the album by the voice of Laurence Lafond-Beaulne (Milk & Bone), who sings with Philippe B on three songs. With his critically-acclaimed album Variations fantômes (2011), he explored and sampled the work of classical composers, then used multiple wind instruments to create a late-night soundtrack on the Polaris Long-Listed Ornithologie, la nuit (2014). For La grande nuit vidéo, Philippe B was inspired to create cinematic chord arrangements, reaffirming that he is one of the great Quebecois singer-songwriters.
La grande nuit vidéo will be presented for the first time in Montreal during a concert on May 17th at Phi Centre.
