Quatuor Esca – Fragments-1. Variations

Fragments are not just a new play, it is also a new 4-act mini-film, the first of which will be available on the various platforms on September 24. David’s fate suddenly changes. Fog, fear, memories, reflections, Minolta, and fragments of light line his path in his quest for resilience.

Founded in 2004, the dynamic string quartet is renowned for its accomplished performances and the wealth of its repertoire, which ranges from classical to popular music. Regularly called upon to participate in shows with popular artists, this union of four women is as different as they are complementary produced with equal happiness on stage or on television sets alongside renowned artists such as Jean Leloup, Ingrid St-Pierre, Diane Dufresne, Coeur de Pirate, Jean-Pierre Ferland, Half Moon Run, and Harry Manx.

They can also be heard on various albums including those of Isabelle Boulay, Diane Tell, Nicolas Pellerin, and the Grands Hurleurs, Les Soeurs Boulay, Beyries, and Pascale Picard among others. The Esca Quartet is also recognized for his many creative and unprecedented collaborations with local composers, such as François Vallières, Maxime Goulet, Antoine Gratton, Sébastien Lépine and Marc-André Landry.

Sympathetic and warm, the musicians of the formation release communicative energy which wins the public every time. Versatile, they perform with equal happiness during concerts classics, tours with renowned artists, or album recordings.

Amanda Fagan unveils lost love and regret on latest release “Forever Yearn”

Amanda Fagan‘s latest release, “Forever Yearn,” is a tragic love story of pride, lost opportunity, and the harrowing knowledge that some mistakes can never be undone. A young couple at heart, wild and almost in love, but whose pride prevents the relationship from flowering. Their story doesn’t end with seeing what went wrong. It hurts more because you don’t see it for years.

“It’s a song about breaking cycles, but the characters are caught in the consequences of their choices. They learn from their mistakes, but knowledge cannot change the past. What remains is the longing for each other, which gives the song its emotional weight and its title, “Forever Yearn.”

Inspired by Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, the song feels like a love story that never gets old. Fagan’s premise blends regret and longing, showing how pride can linger long after an alternative decision could have changed everything. So “Forever Yearn” is less about lost love than about two people wondering what might have been.

iLLLACAT brings sharp bars and catchy production with latest release “Like Dat”

iLLLACAT drops “Like Dat,” a Hip-Hop cut with punchy production, percussion, and synths that give the record movement. Bookie comes on the track and sets the tone immediately with the hard lines, “Get out of my face with the gas, we’re on the chase for the cash, if you’re moving fake I’ll pass, I’ll pack it, and I’ll put it in a bag.” The delivery is right there in the money, the movement, and staying away from anything fake.

The production leaves plenty of space to land those words. Percussion powers the track with synths adding another layer to the beat, a backdrop for the straight-up vocal approach. “Like Dat” maintains tight energy and, instead of overcomplicating its message, lets the verses do the work in terms of personality.

The line, “Steady making money while smoking a pain killer” provides another memorable moment and an insight into the attitude that runs throughout the record. iLLLACAT brings us “Like Dat”, a pure hip-hop joint with Bookie on the track. A catchy production that stays sharp, an assertive voice, memorable lines, and enough rhythmic punch to keep the record moving.
