Canadian singer Dominique Fils-Aimé released a new single, Ensorcelée (Bewitched). It’s a remake of a Daniel Bélanger song that tells the spiritual story of a troubled soul.
The music is Pop. The song consists of a heartfelt ballad version of Ensorcelée. It has a slow, smooth rhythm that gives this piece a special touch. It starts with soft guitar in the background, then smoothly transitions to blend with the piano, violin and upright bass. The team of musicians did a phenomenal job conveying that sombre vibe of uncertainty and spiritual contemplation. Credit goes to: Jacques Roy (piano, upright bass), Steeve St-Pierre (violin), Etienne Miousse (guitar). It honours the style of the original version, but with contemporary Pop sounds. The guitar parts remind me of a slower version of the TLC song No Scrubs, with a suspenseful effect. The composition is rich in melodies and rhythmic nuances. Dominique Fils-Aimé and her team did great work paying homage while adding their own spin on a classic by Daniel Bélanger.
Dominique Fils-Aimé’s voice is soft and deep. She adds depth to the lyrics. She has an impressive vocal range, singing between high and low notes. Her voice has a soulful richness. Dominique Fils-Aimé performs this profound, poetic Daniel Bélanger song exceptionally well.
The single Ensorcelée is available.
