Karelle Tremblay put her acting career on hold for two years to give space to her musical project, Goodbye Karelle. Thus was born Hugh Greene & The Lucies Made Mea first opus combining melodious explorations, Leonard Cohen influences and existential questions.
By the time you read these lines, Karelle Tremblay the actress will be back on your screens in the show STAT. The one who grew up on television and film sets loves her job on screen and the fact that she put this important facet of her life on hold to devote herself to writing her first album shows to what extent music is precious to him.
“I have always written and listened to a lot of music. I wrote songs. Music has always touched me enormously,” explains the daughter of a jazzman and a singer mother who was raised in a house “where there were guitars everywhere.”
We can also hear his dad playing on the intro and the piece Sneakers appearing on his album.
If his artist name was just a nod to a friend who said “Goodbye Karelle!” » when she was thinking regarding a stage name, the main interested party realized that unconsciously, she was trying to emancipate herself from Karelle the actress.
“All my life I have been an actress. Actors, we are a little interested in gossip, in the main lines. Deep inside me, my soul, my heart, people didn’t have access to that. I want to say who I really am,” she confides.
A therapeutic album
Co-produced with Jean-Philippe Levac, this first album was born from great feelings: first of all, love troubles, a three-month flight to Paris, questionings that came with a slack period and various existential questions, particularly linked to the gender identity.
“It’s definitely been therapeutic. I wanted to control my narrative, to deal with who I am, where I come from and what is inside me. The importance of those around me, these people who told me: “Get out of yourself.” I address self-esteem, love and my gender identity which is complex and unclear,” explains the 27-year-old young woman.
The author sometimes speaks of herself in the masculine form on this disc which she describes as an album of songs with lyrics filled with folk, acoustic guitar (with which she composes, as well as the piano) and which touches a certain alternative rock. “With a musicality reminiscent of Beck or Cohen in the voice and sung poetry,” adds the autodidact who writes all his lyrics.
If the artist has returned to the film sets (where she feels so good that she has the impression of putting on her slippers), the musician in her has not said her last word. Ideas are already bubbling for her second offering, which she wants “less dark and more rhythmic.
