A bilingual trip across Canadian music, from Ingrid St-Pierre to Tegan and Sara. Even when you don't catch every word, the melodies do the talking.
Flying East is a bilingual trip across Canadian music, mixing Québécois favourites with English-Canadian and international pop. Ingrid St-Pierre, Tegan and Sara and Louise Attaque each appear three times, while Charlotte Cardin, Mes Aïeux, Ruth B. and Cœur De Pirate bring two each.
There’s a lovely mix of moods: Brigitte Boisjoli’s “Crazy,” Martine St Clair’s “L’amour est dans tes yeux,” Ingrid St-Pierre’s “À la mer,” Tegan and Sara’s “Closer,” Ruth B.’s “Dandelions,” Daniel Bélanger’s “Sèche tes pleurs” and Garou and Céline Dion’s “Sous le vent.” Billy Joel’s live “She’s Got a Way” opens it as a warm welcome. It’s 38 songs that feel like a road trip from Ontario through Québec toward the Maritimes, switching languages but never losing the heart. Perfect for a quiet drive, a cozy dinner or anyone brushing up on their French with some help from great songwriting. Even if you don’t understand every word, the melodies do the talking.
