Canadian and Québécois singer Meghan Oak released a new single, Planète (Planet). The song is a story about feeling out of place and soul-searching.
The music is French Pop. It starts slowly, then gradually picks up in tempo, then slows back down. The song has a dynamic composition, blending a 90s vibe and contemporary beats. Meghan Oak, Charles Madore, and Tousignant did great work composing this piece, with strong tempo timing and the right tone for each emotion. The guitar is a nice touch. It reminds me of Queen guitarist Brian May’s style, especially during his solo moments. It also reminds me of The Gorillaz’s single Clint Eastwood, but with a slower tempo. It’s lovely, immersive music that engages emotions and inspires contemplation. The rhythm matches the song’s vibe and story perfectly. The song ends with a soft fade-out, representing the moment to recharge and look within.
Meghan Oak’s voice is soft. She sings with deep feelings and genuine transparency. She starts low, then gradually hits the high notes.
The lyrics are philosophical and poetic. Meghan Duchesne and Kaky did an excellent job writing this tune with great nuances and depth. The song is a metaphor for contemplation and feeling like the black sheep. It’s also about soul-searching, getting to know yourself, and needing a break from the world (temporary isolation to recharge). The verse and chorus are beautifully poetic, describing a need to recharge before going back out into the world. It’s a soulful piece. Freestyle writing suits these complex feelings. The segue between verse and chorus, and vice versa, is smooth and easy to follow. The subjects of identity and soul-searching are timeless. In this context, it’s about looking from within and learning who we are. Sometimes, getting away isn’t about physically leaving; it’s about taking a moment to meditate, clear one’s mind, and ground oneself.
The single Planète is available.
