ROUTE NORD : DEBUT ALBUM OUT!

Crisp yet rich vocals are punctuated by driving beats, incorporating a contemporary sound that pairs beautifully with Lorène’s experienced voice. A departure from jazz and other more traditional genres, Lorène’s new sound feels like a folk-pop masterpiece – the lyrics and their delivery feel timeless, while the musicality is tangibly current.
The folk influence is some of the flavour behind her vocally driven sound, while her jazz background serves those vocals up flawlessly.
Electronic elements are present in an effective but subtle way, serving the songs and supporting – never overpowering all that is Lorène. Choral harmonies emphasize the strength in the vocals, as well as Lorène’s skills as a songwriter. There is a dreamlike quality to her slower ballads, and her lyrics feel like a letter to a friend. Lorène is writing music that resonates – it’s interesting but calming, stimulating yet comforting, approachable yet unique. Her sound is exploratory while also arriving polished.

Lorène Charmetant is a musician, singer, songwriter based in Whitehorse, Yukon, on the traditional territory of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and the Ta’an Kwäch’än Council.

Hailing from a small village near Lyon, Lorène pays homage to her culturally rich upbringing in France especially in her impressive catalogue of songs in her native tongue. She fostered an early appreciation for worldly and diverse influences, readily available to her while growing up in Europe. That foundational exposure to a broad variety of music and art continues to influence Lorène’s work as a songwriter, and she credits that early exposure for her appetite to explore and accept influences from across many genres. Lorène moves with ease between languages, communicating passion and vision with clarity in both English and French.
