APPROACHING ONE MILLION STREAMS – IMMERSION, THE NEW ALBUM BY ANGÈLE DUBEAU STILL AT THE TOP OF THE CHARTS !
On February 26, Angèle Dubeau released her 45th album. Since then, IMMERSION has been sitting at the top of the country’s sales charts, remaining for a second week at #1 in Quebec and #2 on Canada’s Top 200, as compiled by MRC Data. Her catalog of recordings has recently reached the plateau of 115 million streams and IMMERSION is already approaching one million streams heard in more than one hundred countries. As well, the album was chosen in March as one of the 10 Classical Albums You Must Hear This Month by Apple Music Classical, which has generated significant international exposure for the recording.
IMMERSION offers a deep introspective dive imbued with sensitivity and is a cocoon of well-being in these turbulent times… for everyone.
UNVEILING OF THE VIDEO FLYING
When the entire world stands at the edge of darkness, music and art become our sole instrument of escape. Our means toward soul-healing. Our liberation from the shadows of doubt and disconnect.
Of great beauty, the music video for Flying, composed by Valentin Hadjadj, is unveiled today. Directed and written by Alexandre Richard, five-times nominated at the 2020 Berlin Commercial Awards and awarded the “Coup de coeur” at the 2020 Fantasia International Film Festival, Flying is carried by the magnificent performers Janelle Hacault, Charles-Alexis Desgagnés, Juliette Gariépy and Jules Roy Sicotte.
