I tried like HELL to get this song into Maple Leaf March this year. Since we featured Marie-Mai as part of a Simple Plan post in 2023, I've been trying to slot her in.
Marie-Mai is not that well known outside of Quebec, but inside Quebec, she's a star. She got her start on a Quebec-based singing competition show, finishing third, and followed that with a part in the musical Rent.
It's been a lot of music over the last twenty years as well, with hits in francophone Canada and France. She has gravitated a little more pop nowadays, but she was always pop/rock. This is one of her earliest, from her debut album, Inoxydable, from 2004
Of course she performed one of her biggest early hits live. By this time, she had gone a little mellower and more towards a poppier direction, but the rock edge is still here.
