Montreal Singer-Songwriter APACALDA Unveils Debut Mini-Album
Montreal's rising star, APACALDA, has announced the release of her debut mini-album, a collection of six songs that showcases her unique blend of groovy electronic sounds, dream pop, new wave, cold wave, and abrasive rock.
The mini-album, whose title and release date have yet to be revealed, features collaborations with some of the city's most talented artists. Tess Ananda, known for her haunting vocals and poignant lyrics, joins APACALDA on the track "Fever Dream", which they co-wrote. Other collaborators include Miskha Stein (TEKE : TEKE), Christophe Lamarche-Ledoux (Feu Doux), Samwoy, and Kandle, whose contributions to "She's Not Coming" and "Jealous" highlight APACALDA's sharp pen and keen ear for melodies.
"She's Not Coming" and "Jealous" are just two examples of the album's eclectic mix of styles. The former, with its groovy electronic beats, transforms wounds into a danceable track, while the latter, a light, catchy tune, deals with the complexities of jealousy.
The mini-album's release has been gradually unveiled since late spring, with snippets of songs and collaborations being shared on social media. However, no further details about the album's content or release date have been provided as of yet.
In a time when the music industry often shies away from tackling difficult topics, APACALDA's debut album stands out for its raw and honest lyrics. "Dead Weight", for instance, addresses the issue of rape using grunge guitar, while "Darkness" discusses hope as a mirage, featuring a perfectly sweet melody that belies its dark themes.
Unfortunately, the music industry has suffered a loss with the passing of Isabelle Vaillancourt, the general director of Publications BLD, the publisher of "Les Débrouillards". Vaillancourt passed away on Sunday, leaving a void in the industry that will be difficult to fill.
Despite this sad news, APACALDA's debut mini-album promises to be a powerful and thought-provoking addition to the Montreal music scene. With its unique blend of styles, honest lyrics, and talented collaborators, it's sure to be a must-listen for fans of indie pop and alternative rock.
The mini-album, with its unique fusion of groovy electronic sounds, dream pop, new wave, cold wave, and abrasive rock, is set to be a significant contribution to the culture and entertainment scene in Montreal. APACALDA's debut mini-album, featuring collaborations with local artists like Tess Ananda, Miskha Stein, Christophe Lamarche-Ledoux, Samwoy, and Kandle, promises a fresh perspective on complex topics through music.
