Back on stage with a new album after a visit to Empty, Coeur de Pirate, the stage name of Quebec singer Béatrice Martin, delivered Friday a rhythmic performance with lyrics liberated before the enthusiastic public of Les Vieilles Charrues.
"In case of storm, this garden will be closed", its fourth album released in June, refers to a sign seen at the entrance of a park in Paris, while the singer was going through particularly difficult times, in the middle of anguish.
Allegory of an ill-being, this apparently innocent little sentence became for the artist a sort of injunction to speak of "all the things I never wanted to approach for fear of vexing and maybe to be losing fans, "says Beatrice Martin to AFP.
Revealed at 20 by a cajoling pop-folk played on the piano, the singer with the sweet and tart voice, now 28 years old, knew a moment of doubt and a failure of inspiration after the success of his album "Roses", in 2015.
It's his experience on the jury of the show TV hook New Star, on M6, and the confrontation with young "ever more talented", who convinced her to write a new album. "I realized that maybe I had a role to play in the public domain, maybe I could help people," she says.
Darker but also more mature, this Brave and feminist album talks about "consent" and "badism integrated", tells the young blonde woman with the famous tattoos on the arms.
"It sounds like love songs, but it's often songs about my own insecurities, serious things like consent," says Béatrice Martin, for whom it would have been "dishonest" not to not talk about these topics, especially after the #MeToo movement that "released a word that I did not think I could release in the past". A liberation of the word she "made in music"
In fact, the artist puts into song sometimes toxic love relationships but also traumatic experiences, such as rape, domestic violence, or the freedom to say "no" during a flirtation of a night when you change your mind.
– "It's still universal" –
"There are people who like to tell stories, me I like to tap into what I know, which is my life in a way, I think music is universal, so everyone can appropriate the songs in their own way and that's what is beautiful, "she says.
In front of the audience of Vieilles Charrues, the young woman dressed in a transparent red tunic, delivered an energetic and danced performance, alternating singing and piano, sitting, standing or jumping in a good mood communicative tinged with emotion.
"It's crazy to say that we can do the Old Plows," she told AFP. "This is my ten year career, it was good to do it now."
Opposite, the audience is rather conquered. "I like this little girl and then I have respect for artists who last," says Jocelyne, 62, from Brest, who says "love the voice" of Pirate's Heart.
"C 'is much more rhythmic than usual, I am pleasantly surprised, I did not think it would be rock too, it accelerated its pace for Plows,' admits Benoit, 40, straw hat on his head and tee-shirt. shirt on the Vieilles Charrues program. "It was incredible, there is a great atmosphere, she gives it all, and then she is beautiful and I'm a little in love with her," says Mathieu, 22.
