“He wanted this project in his mother tongue and close to his up-to-date musical inspirations. Like a renewed look at the world and what it wants to sing”, we are told.
The release of the album is preceded by a radio extract, The night leaves us the starswhich suggests that Thibault, now 25, will remain true to his country roots.
David Thibault made headlines in the media here and in the United States in December 2013, following an astonishing interpretation of Blue Christmas on CKOI 102.1 in Quebec. The video of his performance went around the web (14 million views to date) and the native of Saint-Raymond de Portneuf was then invited to resume his imitation at Ellen Degeneres, in California.
Then, in 2015, he managed to make his way to the grand finale of the show The Voice, in France.
