Interview with Evelyne BrochuCoup de pouce Magazine, September 2019 | by Joëlle BergeronDescribing herself as an actress who loves to sing, the talented woman launches her first pop-retro album, produced in collaboration with her friend Félix Dyotte.Are you comfortable with the singer label?For me, a singer is Véronique Claveau, Adele; girls who have great voices and can do anything. If I had to compare myself, I would go more towards Jeanne Moreau or Charlotte Gainsbourg. Their strength lies not so much in the vocal power as in the power of the performance. I am humbled by those who have been refining their instrument for years.On the album, we can clearly recognize the world of Félix Dyotte, who wrote the lyrics, then composed and produced the melodies. What was your creative contribution?I was part of this creation from beginning to end. There is one of the songs I wrote (7 jours), one that I co-wrote (Escale à Madrid) and I feel like, as Félix knows me well, he composed the other pieces thinking of me, even when I was not there! This album is the result of a long-standing friendship. The DNA from our link is there.Are you still considering publishing a poetry collection?It’s in the plans. After that, there are plans and there is time, but it’s already going on. There is a collection of short stories too, which I have been working on for years and which is almost finished… I just have to dare to present it to a publisher.Season 2 of Trop ends when Isabelle drops everything and goes on a trip. How are we going to find her in season 3?She comes back more grounded, but a new event will soon destabilize her. It’s going to take about the whole season before she gets back on her X. It is a season of upheavals, but also of affirmation.This is the last season. Are you the type to get the blues or do you move on quickly?I have some problems. It was an important project in my life. My sense of belonging is very strong, both humanly and artistically, so I try to live the last moments by enjoying them as much as possible.The book on her bedside tableLe Lambeau, by Philippe Lançon, one of Charlie Hebdo’s journalists who survived the terrorist attack. It is a story of healing and reconstruction that I loved very much. The author, a great writer, explains how art can save us.A song she listens toThere’s a song my boyfriend introduced me to lately. It’s Sari d’Orcino of Feu! Chatterton. It’s a great song.A series she’s watchingI’m not watching anything specific right now. But I must admit I’m a big fan of Fixer Upper, which features a Texas couple renovating old houses. They’re really funny and I love them. So, from time to time, I watch a little Fixer Upper.The artist on her radarPhilippe Cyr. He is the one who directed the production of Le Brasier and J’aime Hydro, so I’m very excited to see the rest of his work.On the agendaHer album will be released in stores in September. The third season of TROP will be aired this fall on ICI Radio-Canada Télé. -- source link
