Time clearly has little hold on Robert Charlebois. Highly relevant and still as cool at the dawn of his 75th birthday, he releases his 25th album: Et voilà.

It features ten new songs where, with humor, melancholy, and poetry, the artist takes a retrospective look at his life, realizing how quickly the years fly by. This album thus marks many wonderful reunions.

First, with Louise Forestier, who joins him for a duet where the magic once again operates; it's also lost and found lyrics, including a particularly biting one by his friend Réjean Ducharme; it's the love he declares to women, and to his own above all; it's a nod to two giants: Johnny and Elvis; it's Charlebois reconnecting with rock'n'roll on lyrics custom-written by Simon Proulx! Gus Van Go and Werner F. are behind the production.

Surrounded by two young New Yorkers from the hip-hop scene, multi-instrumentalist Jesse Signer and keyboardist Chris Soper, Robert Charlebois recorded Et Voilà at Boiler Room studios in Brooklyn.

This remarkable blend of generations and musical backgrounds proved prolific, resulting in a happy fusion of influences on each song of the album.
