Coeur de Pirate [Import]

Debut album from French-Canadian chanteuse Beatrice Martin (AKA Coeur de Pirate). Although this album was recorded when she was just south of 20 years old, the music contained on Coeur de Pirate's debut far belies her years. Martin, who has played the piano from the age of three, started composing her own songs in 2007. Members of Bonjour Brumaire noticed her and asked her to join their group as singer and keyboardist. Once she had established her own unique musical vision, Béatrice left the group to concentrate on Coeur de Pirate. Martin's songs are whimsical, magical and seem to have been inspired by music recorded in the early part of the 20th Century while still retaining a modern sensibility. Universal.
