Interested in independent music, emerging artists and new album releases? DJ Marie, music director at Radio X, will keep you updated every week in The Current on what’s new in the world of music. You can catch her on Thursday nights from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. on 88.5FM, bringing you new music you’re sure to love.
If you’re looking for an exotic sound to spice up your playlists, look no further. Cœur de Pirate is an upbeat mix of English and French lyrics. Cœur de Pirate, also known as Béatrice Martin, is a colorful and experimental artist; her album “Roses” showcases this with its diverse sound — there is a track for everyone. While “Roses” is excellent, the 26-year-old Canadian treated fans to three additional tracks in the deluxe version of the album. These tracks — “Can’t Get Your Love,” “The Climb” and “Ocean Brawl – Ash Workman Version” — are consistent with the album’s relaxed, pop/electronic vibe and are certainly worth a listen. This year will certainly be a busy one for Cœur de Pirate, as she is not only presently on a three-legged international tour until January 2017 and expected to play at numerous festivals this year, but she is also married with a child. Unfortunately, her tour will not take her to South Florida, but you can still catch one of her songs, “Undone,” in a national Fendi campaign this year. With all of these live performances to compliment her new songs, she’s bound to attract many more American fans than ever before.
You can find “Roses” on Spotify and Apple Music.
