Canadian pop artist Alexe Gaudreault, a native of Dolbeau-Mistassini, QC, has released a new music video for her current hit single “Echo” off her debut, eponymous album. The LP received praises from iTunes staff and was named by Canadian Music Blog as 2016’s Album of the Year among 570 releases, beating out Drake and Céline Dion.
Alexe came to the attention of the masses in 2013 when she was selected as a contestant on The Voice Season 1. While the JUNO Awards often struggle to attract more than 1.2 million viewers, Alexe Gaudreault’s performance of Jacques Brel’s classic “Quand on a que l’amour” on The Voice was watched by two million strong.
Gaudreault hooked up with musical director and composer John Nathaniel and lyricist Mariane Cossette-Bacon releasing a three-track EP which contained the song “Placebo”. The song went ballistic: a BDS Top 10 hit for 47+ weeks, striking number one in the fall of 2015 where it remained for seven weeks. This was a first in 15 years for an independent artist. The song won for Alexe the No. 1 SOCAN Award.
On May 20, 2016, Alexe Gaudreault released her debut, self-titled LP. Track “Éclat” broke into the BDS Top 3. In June, she performed at home of The Habs, The Bell Centre, opening for Marc Dupré.
With very well written songs, expert production, and savory vocals, Alexe’s album is a winner, one of the best pop albums to come out of Canada in the last few years. The current hit single is “Écho” and a music video has been released which we have embedded below. The MV was shot in New York. This gal’s on fire. iTunes
