Tremblay's
music has an intensity that also soothes. The bilingual background of
this Canadian-born singer/songwriter has proved a valuable asset, and
her keyboard and guitar-playing skills have provided useful
accompaniment to her poignant, spellbinding ballads ever since she
first arrived on the Canadian music scene in 1984. Her self-titled
debut album was voted Top Ten Album of the Year by the Boston Globe in
1986, and in subsequent albums she has continued to turn personal
experience into compelling song, with studio recordings being
interspersed with concert cuts, and English lyrics alternating with
songs in French. Tremblay serenades us with a rich, warm voice that can
soar from a throaty purr to strong, crystal tones, her songs combining
a soft melodic essence with a depth of feeling that is riveting,
particularly in her love songs.
