This Time The Girl’s In Trouble
Dans l’univers anglophone des grandes plaines canadiennes, M. SOUL s’est d’abord démarqué par ses compositions en français. Aujourd’hui résidant en France, c’est paradoxalement… en anglais qu’il choisit de célébrer les femmes sur son nouvel opus. Avec « This Time The Girl’s In Trouble », le chanteur canadien nous embarque sur des rythmes nord-américains new vintage, naviguant avec authenticité entre le Blues, l’Americana et le Rock’n’Roll.
Les critiques de la presse musicale
Folkworld Magazine – par David Hintz (Août 2016)
« Singer Songwriter Marcel Soulodre has a clever way of shortening his name and fortunately for us, more than a few clever songs to listen to. He is from Winnipeg, lives in France, but practices more of an Americana, country infused brand of rock’n’roll. He writes stories in his songs, which keep attention to the lyrics, aided of course by expressive singing. The music is bright and vibrant and varied in style and pace. I like the rousing numbers like ‘Fat Bob Blues’, although all the songs are worth a listen. Hard to find any fault with the quality of this release. »
Winnipeg Free Press – par John Kendle (Juillet 2016)
« M. SOUL is Marcel Soulodre, a St. Boniface musician who’s been living and performing in France for the past seven years. In France, Switzerland and Germany, he’s best-known as an interpreter of Johnny Cash material. […] This time the girl’s in trouble is Soulodre’s return to original music, offering up 11 songs that reflect and affirm sensibilities he honed as a young man steeped in Winnipeg’s roots, blues and rock scenes of the 1980s. The standout track is a beautiful version of Delia’s Gone, a folk-blues traditional which Soulodre and band turn into a cut that could have been made by a mid-’70s Gordon Lightfoot. But Soulodre’s 10 compositions – especially the uptempo numbers – also stand on their own. »
