Not long after earning major acclaim at the Festival international de la chanson de Granby, Lisa LeBlanc unveiled her self-titled debut album in 2012. She received a tremendous amount of positive feedback. There was an undeniable thirst for the Acadian artist’s raw, stripped down songs and her unique mix of roots, rock and country.

In the wake of her debut, she won Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the ADISQ gala, Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the GAMIQ awards and the prestigious Révélation musique prize from Radio-Canada. In 2014 she released an EP Highways, Heartaches and Time Well Wasted, and in 2016 released Why You Wanna Leave Runaway Queen?, which was shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize. For both of those releases, Lisa opted to sing in English, expand her creativity and reach new audiences. Her first three records sold over 140,000 copies.

Lisa and her band toured almost non-stop, moving easily between Dawson City and Caraquet, Paris and Lafayette. She took a break from touring in 2019 to write and travel. She began to explore work as an artistic director and produced Nova Scotian Jacques Surette’s debut album, as well as Le tour du Grand Bois, Édith Butler’s 25th album. This new direction enabled her to broaden her musical horizons while using her talents, creativity and passion in service of others.

The album, recorded in her home somewhere between the living room and the basement, is a mix of sounds reminiscent of the sixties and seventies. This also marks her return to French, creating a unique mix of disco and chiac, a kind of cultural patchwork of rural disco, or rather chiac glamour.
