New album out now!
With La plus belle saison, her 15th album, Emilie-Claire Barlow delivers a vibrant tribute to the richness and poetry of Quebec’s musical heritage. Entirely in French and recorded in Montreal, this project, co-produced with François Richard (Michel Rivard, Alexandre Désilets), explores jazz, samba, and orchestral pop. From Harmonium to Diane Tell, Jim Corcoran to Gilles Vigneault, each piece revives a poignant chapter of the Francophone songbook, carried by Emilie-Claire’s clear, fluid voice and sumptuous arrangements.
Avec La plus belle saison, son 15ᵉ album en carrière, Emilie-Claire Barlow signe un hommage vibrant à la chanson québécoise dans toute sa richesse et sa poésie. Entièrement en français, ce nouvel opus enregistré à Montréal, coréalisé avec François Richard (Michel Rivard, Alexandre Désilets), embrasse avec finesse le jazz manouche, la samba et la pop orchestrale.

La voix limpide et nuancée d’Emilie-Claire tisse un fil émouvant entre les époques, portée par des arrangements somptueux et une esthétique sonore d’une grande élégance.
