Earlier in May, French-born, Montreal-based singer-songwriter Monsieur Raph (full name Raphaël Delahaye) released NU, his debut EP with four new tracks that put his diaphanous vocals and haunting compositions on fine display. With a keen ear for instrumental colour, he enhances his own guitar and percussion stylings with strings, accordion, even eu...
When Meryem Saci first moved to Montreal in 2000 with her mother as refugees from Algeria — which was in the midst of civil war — she learned English through hip-hop. "It spoke to me, and it educated me," she told Zir Zameen. Soon, Saci combined her newfound love of the genre with her other passions — soul, jazz and blues — to create an eclectic so...
Lydia Képinski has been on a competitive winning streak over the past couple of years. In 2016, the francophone singer-songwriter took home several prizes at the Granby International Song Festival and just recently, she took home $10,000 at Les Francouvertes music competition. One listen to her self-titled EP, released last year, and it's clear why...
If Montreal is known as a jazz city, it's due as much to enterprising local musicians like pianist/composer Gentiane Michaud-Gagnon as the big annual festival. Since establishing the Gentiane MG Trio in 2014, Michaud-Gagnon has been a year-round presence in Montreal's principal jazz clubs — Upstairs, Dièse Onze, Resonance Café — working on her comp...
Lesley Ann Foster is a nomadic spirit, but she has invested a lot of time in the Montreal music scene. Last year, she released her debut EP, Saudade, which was produced by Young Galaxy's Stephen Ramsay on the basis of their shared love of "sad dance music," as she tells Cult MTL. Her expansive synth-pop sound is marked by her soaring, soulful voice...
A string quartet is classical music's closest thing to a rock band, and Montreal's Milton String Quartet is banging these days. Earlier this month, they won the grand prize and string division gold medal at the 44th annual Fischoff Chamber Music Competition in South Bend, Ind. "We focused on staying true to ourselves and our vision of the music, wh...
It's hard to pin down Kae Sun's sound, but that's what makes him such an exciting artist to follow. His influences range from Outkast to Bob Dylan to Little Dragon to Dennis Brown, and all of those can be found on various songs he's released over the past few years. His latest EP, Canary, is just as wide-ranging: "Fix Up" is an electronic anthem fe...
Debut EPs can be a very stressful project, but pop/rock trio Caveboy was in good hands at Montreal's famed Breakglass studio. Working with the Besnard Lakes' Jace Lasek, Patrick Krief and Joseph Donovan, the band's 2015 six-song release polished up its raw edges, giving Caveboy's synth-driven pop anthems a moody depth that has since connected with ...
"We decided to do this project as curators of the funk culture," says Fredy V, a.k.a. Montreal's "king of funk." His new band's debut album, It Takes a Village, pays tribute to the genre's great practitioners — the Family Stone, the P-Funk All Stars, the Revolution — while adding "a lot of global awareness, inclusivity and family values to the trad...
Rapper Brandon Buissereth, a.k.a. KGoon, got a big boost last year when he opened for N.O.R.E. at a show at Le Belmont. "Yo, I heard this cat from Montreal named KGoon, killing the city, buzzing," N.O.R.E. told the crowd. "I want you to come back onstage with me and show me what you got." Since that endorsement, KGoon and his PaperBoyz squad have b...
Jan 22, 2015 · The best way to discover a city is to walk it. When friends come into town, we’ll walk across the city for 2-3 hours. And once a year, I like to have a good walk in the old part of the city. It’s a little more touristy, but there’s a lot of new bars, shops, and cafés there. It’s a more complicated neighborhood than other parts of the city.
