Fils-aime, Dominique
Stay Tuned!
Dominique Fils-Aime is a singer-songwriter from Montreal whose inspiration is drawn from soul icons of the '40s and the'60s the likes of Billie Holiday, Etta James and Nina Simone. Moving on from her 2018 debut full-length blues-tinged 'Nameless' (which boldly confronted historical silences and sorrows) 'Stay Tuned!' is both a call for and reminder of revolution expressed with the fury of red-hot jazz. Wanted to break away from the standards of traditional compositions, Dominique presents a body of work focused on liberating herself from musical forms. Dominique Fils-Aime has been chosen as Radio-Canada Jazz revelation 2019-2020I. n 2015 she made it to the semi-finals on The Voice and gripped the audience with her sultry and genuine voice. 'Stay Tuned!' is a striking album, all penned by Dominique Fils-Aime, built around her powerful and solemn vocals. It is an eclectic set that veers from minimalist soul-jazz, sometimes tinged with reggae and R&B interludes to late-night sexy soul jams. An important album, intelligent and sensitive, which shows that the genre remains anchored in contemporary society. An album good for the soul.
