Ingrid St-Pierre has released a new EP, Cinq Chansons Au Piano Droit (Five Songs on the Upright Piano, according to Google Translate). The themes are contemplation and soul-searching.
The music is classical. Ingrid St-Pierre beautifully plays the piano throughout the EP. The acoustic beat creates an intimate vibe—it feels personal. The ballads are incredible.
The song Dans tes bras starts the album on a calming note, representing love and comfort. Le Paquebot has a slow, wavy rhythm. The piano stops a lot, representing uncertainty. L’Onoclée is a soothing tune. The piano in the background is soft and subtle, representing a beautiful spirituality. The song Ficelles has an incredible gradient-style rhythm that suitably portrays the soul’s spiritual evolution. Petite fin du monde has an impressive composition with music that evolves frequently, a symbol of life’s ups and downs, and constant change in the world.
The compositions have rich music through remarkable piano playing.
Ingrid St-Pierre’s voice is soft and husky. She sings each song with all her heart. She has impressive, low-key singing that sounds like a whisper.
The lyrics are poetic and heartfelt. The songs have incredible imagery and metaphors/
Dans Tes Bras (In Your Arms) is a sweet, romantic song about needing a partner’s comfort and admitting it without shame. Le Paquebot (The Ocean Liner) is deeply concerned with inner turmoil and the inability to save oneself and others. It’s a powerful song. L’Onoclée (The Onoclea) is a touching symbol of physical or spiritual presence. It’s a poetic piece. The tune Ficelles (Strings) represents identity and its multiple dimensions with incredible depth and freestyle poetry. It beautifully describes a soul’s spiritual evolution. Petite fin du monde (a little end of the world) is a profound piece about life, where one chapter ends, another begins, or one door closes, another one opens. It’s genuine and relatable, discussing everyday life in a beautifully well-written manner.
The lyrics of each song have beautiful lyrical richness with poetic depth.
The EP Cinq Chansons Au Piano Droit is available.
