Congratualtions to Charlotte Cardin on her multiple Juno Award wins.
I don't know as of this writing (I wrote this in February) whether she won last night or not, but, given all her nominations and critical acclaim, I'm going to bet she did. I'll edit this post if I was wrong (but I won't be).
(Edit:24 March - she won Pop Album of the Year. and one of the major awards, Album of the Year. She did lose Artist and Single of the Year - both to Tate McRae.)
This song was nominated for Song of the Year this year (one of her six Juno nominations, including two for the album 99 Nights). Written by Cardin, Jason Brando and Lubalin, this song is funky and has a strong R&B influence, with Cardin's husky voice carrying the track. The song is lyrically a little depressing - reminding me a bit of "Habits (Stay High)".
The song has been Cardin's biggest hit in Canada - her first top 10 entry - and she is absolutely an artist that deserves attention outside of Canada.
Could Charlotte Cardin be the Canadian Taylor Swift? Who knows, but this crowd is really into her performance.
I failed to mention earlier that Cardin is from Montreal, is of course still Canadian, and currently lives in Paris.
I mention this because, on her 99 Nights Deluxe release, which was mostly French, she included 4 extra songs.... and really, this was just 99 Nights plus her EP, Une semaine à Paris.
The EP was centered around a French version of this song.
By the way, I am partial to this piano version - Cardin is an accomplished pianist, and performs her own song so well in such a stripped-down fashion.
(Edit: 25 March 2024) Of course, there is the version she performed at the Juno Awards...
