Quebec-based singer-songwriter Hubert Lenoir shot onto the scene with his debut solo album "Darlène", a glam rock psychedelic postmodern opera that was shortlisted for the 2018 Polaris Music Prize. He’s back with a very personal sophomore album entitled "PICTURA DE IPSE : Musique directe". This musical autobiography is a tribute to the "cinéma direct" movement, which started in Québec at the end of the 1950s.
Hubert Lenoir tells FRANCE 24's Florence Villeminot how making the album helped him find himself again after getting somewhat lost over his sudden rise to fame.
We also look at new releases from fellow Quebecois band Choses Sauvages, as well as British singer-songwriter James Blake.
