4. Jeanne CoteJeanne Côté is approaching her thirties with the wind at her back. Coming from the large family of Petite-Vallée, but above all coming from a curious father who was a show promoter and a mother who was a passionate music teacher, she drags a cultural background that is as improbable as it is eclectic. It was in 2019, between two competitions and the end of her baccalaureate in literature, that she started her project under her own name, when she released Aller-retour (EP), a first attempt directed by Louis-Jean Cormier. She began writing her first full album, Suite pour personne, shortly after, which would take 4 years to see the light of day. Produced with Émilie Proulx and Arthur Bourdon-Durocher, it showcases her unique style, her piano playing and a very refined folk side that allow her to stand out, with titles like “Y peut mouiller” and “Ouragans”. She returns in force in February 2025 with a new opus, supported by the same production team. If her Gaspé roots have until now been the common thread of her career, Jeanne Côté seizes the opportunity of a second album to branch out a little and assume more the breadth of her register. Still in the idea of a minimalist folk, but more dynamic and groovy, this time putting the piano in the background, the album is inspired by the points of rupture and encounter that draw human trajectories, the unpredictable journey towards lightness.
