Canadian and Quebecoise singer Maude Audet released a new single, Noël Mille Feux (A Christmas with 1000 Lights).
The music is French Pop. The beat is cheerful, with a combination of slow and semi-fast rhythms. That blend gives the song a calm, romantic feeling. The musicians are remarkable. It starts with the lovely piano playing, then smoothly mixes in with the flute and the drums. There’s a beautiful harmony. The music parallels Ingrid St-Pierre’s folkloric ballads. Some parts sound like traditional Christmas music blended with contemporary Pop sounds. It also reminds me of the music heard in The Nutcracker. The rhythm also parallels a song from the musical Roméo et Juliette entitled L’amour Heureux (a joyful love), with a slightly slower tempo. The vibe is romantic and festive, with a sweet feeling of trance – a lovely state of dream.
Maude Audet’s voice is soft and soulful. She sounds calm, which makes the song feel relaxing. She has a rhythmic flow that gives her voice a lullaby.
The lyrics are romantic, soulful and heartfelt. Maude Audet wrote the words with a beautiful, poetic sentiment of peace and love. There’s a lovely holiday vibe. The use of freestyle writing complements the laid-back and calm feeling. The mix of rhyming styles is phenomenal, combining them in perfect harmony. The love is profound and genuine. The song describes the joys of being with a terrific partner, especially during the festive season. It depicts being in a beautiful state of trance. It also portrays that nothing else matters except the presence of loved ones or, in this case, a significant other, honouring them profoundly.
The single Noël Mille Feux is available.
